Cell phone

[karthik3k]

I bought a new cell.
I never let the power go below 80%.
Now the cell(power) has become weak.
It cant even withstand for 5mins with full power.
What was the mistake i made ?
Did i overcharge my cell ?
I dont understand the chemistry behind that!!
Can anybody explain ?

don't do that again. always let the battery empty itself before recharging
