Are you guys frequently charge your NZ90

[GoGO]

I just like to know if you guys frequently charge your NZ90. I always let me NZ sit on the cradle when I am not using it. But after seeing the battery indicator, the cycle shows as many times as I put my NZ into charing.

I don't know if it's ok for the battery and how many cycle times that the battery can handle it? 1000 times or somethings?

I heard someone said that it is better to charge your PDA when the power is lower than 30%. I used to do that for my NX70V. However, for NZ90, when power is lower than 50%, I found that my camera is limited to be used. So the last pattern can't be used for my lovely NZ90. My question is: If I charge the battery too frequently..will it hurt the battery?

i think it can have 10,000 cycles so i would not worry

well, let's put it this way:
I'm STILL waiting for mine to arrive.

You make it sound like you have been using it for ages ;)

Lucky you :)

and now for some semi-usefull piece of information:
Adding onto the davy19's comment... remember that the battery is replacable. If this one dies you can replace it without having to throw away the entire PDA ...

I recharged mine a lot and now my batter is telling me I have a 100% battery life while its in the cradle and charging, but when I take it off the battery Life went to 60% in seconds!!! I called Sony Tech Support which was really good, they responded in minutes. They told me to compleatly decharge the battery the first time i use it that way the battery can learn. They said drain the battery till the power light doesnt even show up anymore. then charge the battery for 4-5 hours. and my problem should be fixed.
