If you charge the battery when its still half full does it count as one charge cycle or half a charge cycle?
Sorry if this has already been answered in the forums....didnt have much luck on the search |

Check out this answer from ipodbatteryfaq.com:
http://ipodbatteryfaq.com/#12 You will see that although it's not a "full" charge cycle, it is still a partial discharge (because 1/2 of a battery left is still more than a quick little 30 min charge/discharge). I don't think you should think of it in terms of half or full charges, since no matter how hard you try and count the discharges, you will never get it to prolong the battery to twice the battery life by only doing "half charges." Because it is a lithium ion battery, you should only fully discharge once or twice a month, and half battery charge/discharges should be quite good for keeping the battery in a reasonably healthy state.
