I HIGHLY recommend that anyone with questions about Li-Ion batteries, such as those in iPods/iPhones, read the following site - it's written by a battery expert & dispels many of the myths about using/recharging Li-Ion batteries.

Cool. I'll have to give that a shot.
On a related note - I read something that said the the iPod should last
about 300-400 charges (don't recall whether that was model-specific). If
one plugs in to auto-sync daily, does that count as a charge, even if
the battery was not discharged very much through playing.
I listed mostly to podcasts on my Classic. I'm wondering whether battery
life is cut short by daily plug-ins.
