Not sure what the type of battery is in the Vega. Should it be completely discharged every now and then?

No modern batteries should be deep cycled (NiHM, LI-ion, Li-poly) all of them have a longer operational life if topped up rather than draining completely. Deep-cycling is a holdover from the old days of NiCd batteries.

Thanks for the info. Off topic a bit but I brought a new Oral electric toothbrush the other week. The manual said to drain that every three months. Surprised that still uses older type of battery. :lol:
