What's to know? Charge it, use it...charge again. :-)
Li-Ions are more forgiving about cycling than are NiMH's and especially
NiCD's, so don't worry about deep discharging the battery--just charge
whenever you need a charge and enjoy. As a matter of fact, some say the
with a Li-Ion, you *shouldn't* discharge them all the way, but that's hard
to do unless you're *trying* to anyway.
