Does anyone know if leaving the pre on the touchstone charging dock hurts the battery?

It does not. Just be sure to drain the battery completely once a month or so.

What do you believe is being accomplished by draining the battrry every month? Palms user guide refers to a longer battery life by not allowing the battery to drain too much before charging.

Battery 'memory', and the need to 'cycle' them, is a holdover from NiCads, Lithium Ions do not need to be drained dead, and doing so shortens their service life. Take care

Mugen Battery instructions states to do 4 charge/drain cycles to first calibrate the battery to your device and then after that to keep the battery topped off for best results. My Mugen battery spends much of it's life on a TS charger and after 9 months it still has over 90% charge capacity.
