I was wondering if you should allow your Prism�s batteries to drain fully before you recharge them?

Do the batteries in the Prism suffer from the �memory effect� like most rechargeable batteries do?

Is there a program that will discharge the Prism�s battery for you?

Nope. The battery can be racharged at any point w/o any memory effect. The memory effect only happens with NiCad's (as far as I know). The prism (edge, too) uses a li-ion battery.

General Rule fo Thumb

Li-Ion Batteries liked to be recharged at about 10% battery level. If you keep draining the battery before you charge it, then the life of the battery will diminish.

I wondered about this too.

Yet, with my cell phone's li-ion battery, I constantly topped off. And one day I found the max charge it would take was about an hour. I wonder if li-ion's are really immune to topping off/memory effects?

you might find this website interesting. I know it says it is for Photography but the batteries technology is the same. I got this off of comp.sys.palmtops.pilot user group.
