RE: cycling?
I'm just learning all teh ropes now of using an intelligent battery charger.
You get mixed opinions but from what I gather you only need to cycle batteries a couple of times a year really and the main reason people do it is to test them for capacity since when you cycle your charger will tell you what its taken out and what it gets back in. These figures should be around 70% or more than the capacity of the battery.
i.e. if youre charging a 2100mA then you should be getting results of 1680 or above for it to be a usseable battery.
Thats how I see it from teh two days of research I have been doing.
Don't cycle evey time yu charge. Its pointless and takes time.
