Let battery die for first time?

Yup, dchandler makes sense. Had to drain my psp1000 battery before the charger woyld even read it because its old. If your your other prehistoric devices fail to read battery at all I would suggest shorting the pack all the way dead with a paper clip. Worked for me.

I've never really cared about "proper battery management" because I'll be getting a new phone in a year anyway. I've never let my 6S die completely, I always charge it at night and whenever I need to during the day.

I charge whenever I want to, but I always drain it to 0% once a month to calibrate the battery.

Ditto. I put on the charger each evening at bedtime...when I'm usually at 20-30% after a days usage.

I've never seen any battery life improvement as a result of discharge/charging a lithium ion battery. But...if it seems to work better for anybody to do it, then to each their own.

Letting battery die for the first time is nonsense.... You just need to juice it up when it's running out of power.
