So, is it better to let the device fully discharge it's battery before recharching, or does is it better to not let the batteries fully discharge?

Thanks in advance.

Generally you keep charging the battery before it drops below 25%. It's fine doing top ups whenever you please. Then, once a month let the battery go flat (or drop below 25%) before recharging. This helps cycle the battery keeping it in good shape. There's no need to let your ipod/ipad battery run completely flat before charging.

It used to be the case with earlier mobile phones and such but not anymore.

Good deal. Thanks, H2O.

Sticking to these guidelines has kept my 3 year old iPhone 3GS battery still going strong.
