While there's no "memory" effect, these batteries, through my experience, tend to last longer for people who allow their notebook to automatically hibernate at 3% charge before attaching them to the charger again. In most of my experiences, people who do this get 3 years out of their li-ion batteries where those who do not usually get far less. So, I’ve got to disagree.

The "memory effect" thingy in indeed way over-rated. This is caused by chemical build up in NiCd batteries when consistently charged to the same level. Doesn't happen to NiMH nor Li-On. Somehow, I still get sales people who keep telling me to fully discharge and recharge Li-On. Nice article.
