I hope these batteries don't wear out too fast, being re-charged so often.
The shallower the discharge, the better the batteries will fare. I had two sets of NiMH AA batteries that I would switch into my Walkman (remember those?) at lunchtime to keep the discharge cycles reasonable. Those two pair of batteries went two whole years, 500 charge/discharge cycles. Then my job changed and I got a Sansa Fuze.
