Here's an amazing quote:<br>

fragile tendency of Li-Ion batteries to overcharging imposes
stringent recharge requirements. But it is not just overcharging
that is the problem, because even slight undercharging
significantly reduces capacity. Undercharging the battery by 1.2
percent of its optimum full-charge voltage, for example, lowers
the capacity by a remarkable 9 percent. Consequently, designers
aim to charge the cell to within 1 percent of its optimum
full-charge to get the most out of the battery."</span></p>
