   No, that is not correct.  NiCd batteries _must_ be periodically   
   discharged completely, while Li-ion batteries don't have that   
   requirement per se, but it is still a good idea to deplete the battery's   
   charge virtually entirely every once in a while so as to prevent the   
   development of "battery memory", even with Li-ion.
