They DO NOT have a "memory" like old school rechargables. In fact, draining a Lithium Ion battery will shorten its life and in some cases kill the battery. For this reason most devices shut down with some charge. (although the battery meter is empty. It's like how you can drive about 30 miles after the gas light comes on in a car) This is demonstrated in that, in most cases, you can turn your phone right back on after it forces itself off and the device will shut itself down correctly versus just cutting off like you pulled the battery. Keeping the charge at about half makes the usable life (or lenght of time that the battery will take a charge when recharged) almost triple compared to draining as fully as possable then charging.
