Default Laptop/ drill rechargable batterys.. methods for longer life?

It's my understanding that dendrites grow in the presence of
an electric field. If they're totally flat there should be no growth.


What is "totally flat"? You can't drive a battery pack down to zero, only
individual cells.


Right. Let them go flat all by themselves. Forcing the issue
certainly isn't healthy. Compare this with lead-acid chemistry,
where they should never be left to go flat and be stored with a
float-charge.
