  if your batt is li-ion then it does not matter if you didn't fully discharge it before charging

  try not to drop the batt
  do not place magnetic stuff near your batt
  clean the contacts of the batt

  lithium batt were designed for ppl to charge at their whim and fancies.
  
  also...even if u are bored. do not touch the copper connections at the hp or batt....

  most hp batts r Li-Ion. and in fact its not good to wait till they dying den charge them. they can be recharged constantly without shortening of their lives.

  Durable as in the overall life of the battery. Can be used for 3 ++ years.
  
  I think it's pretty durable for daily usage as well. If it can't last for more than a day, unless you talk a lot on the phone, it's probably time to change one.

  the new generation of SE phones like T610/630 uses Li-polymer
  
  Life span is shorter than Li-ion. But it can be much slimmer than Li-ion
