- Avoid over-charging...though most devices these days go to a trickle charge to avoid this problem. I'd assume the Treo 650 would be among this group.
This is just a collection of anecdotal data I've collected along the way.
none of it applies to the 600 or 650. they use Lithium Ion batteries, which are completely different technology than nickel cadmium, which had those problems. in fact, it is recommended *not* to drain down Li-Ion batteries. it shortens their life to do so.
