ooked up to the computer and it drains the sansaclip's power to nothing does it recharge all over again if it has nothing ?

[tanduayice]

in short, the best percentage of the battery to charge would be?

[Miikerman]

Don't let it go all the way down.  With these batteries and the lack of "recharge memory," recharge at whatever percentage. 

[tanduayice]

ok. i just got confused between 18, 25, and 40%.

thanks for all the help

[Miikerman]

I tend to see the 40% figure--but I don't recall if that relates to the current battery technology in the Clip or earlier battery technology (I tend to aim at that level).  batteryuniversity.com has good battery info. 

[Miikerman]

For lithium batteries such as in the Clips, batteryuniversity.com says that random charging is fine--for storage, it recommends a 40% charge.  It also states that partial charging is preferred, and that full discharges should be avoided.
