There are ''no memory effects'' with Li-ion chemistry.
: Some 'Smart' battery management systems might recommend performing a deep discharge followed by a full charge from time to time.
:: This helps re-calibrate the system and give better estimations of capacity remaining.
:: However, there is ''no need to do this'' from purely a cell maintenance point of view.
: All Li-ion batteries have protection circuits (Zero uses the [[BMS]] and [[Contactor]]) to keep the cells within their safe operating voltage range.
:: You can therefore simply charge and discharge at will and not worry about charging a battery that is half full.
