A guy from the local Apple store spoke to our computer club recently and he stated very strongly that to maintain good battery life, you needed to let the ipad and iphone discharge totally periodically before recharging. He offered no documentation on this and didn't say often you should do this. Anyone have any data on tests for this procedure to determine the facts?
