There are two killers of Li batteries, excessive charge cycles (they have a limited number of recharge cycles) and over charging (which damages the cell chemical barrier). They have an optimal charge voltage and should not be charged just because they have sat around and not discharged. Cell life can be extended by holding the charge voltage at about 3.7V, for a 4V cell; this has been proven in the electrtic bike industry.
