I believe that's incorrect. The "memory" effect is, I believe, specific only to NiCd batteries (and even then it's often mischaracterised -- I found a good faq on this somewhere once). More likely what is happening is that draining a battery all the way down and charging it from scratch is a good way to reset the calibration of the battery's internal capacity meter. This works by measuring current, and is susceptible to aggregate round off error.
