I think you're getting NiCad (nickel cadmium - older type) batteries confused with LiIon (Lithium Ion - more recent type) batteries. NiCad batteries might need that, but as I understand it, LiIon batteries don't have the "memory" effect common to NiCads, and in fact only have a certain number of recharges available in their lifetime. So the software monitoring the battery might have a glitch in it around 99%, but the battery does *not* have the "memory effect" - you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise, IMHO.
