I'm not doubting any of the statements we've read today, but if they're all true then I confess I don't know a darned thing about batteries. 

I'm always hearing conflicting information about batteries that leaves me baffled. Store them fully charged; store them 40% charged; discharge them all the way; discharge them down to only to 35 per cent of capacity; aim for 2.5 V per cell; aim for 3.0 V per cell; Lithium is great for QRP portable; Lithium is a bomb ready to go off.

What the heck? When it comes to batteries, the Principle of Contradiction goes out the window.
