What happens if you completely discharge a lithium-ion battery?
If a lithium-ion battery is discharged below 2.5 volts per cell, a safety circuit built into the battery opens and the battery appears to be dead. Also, for safety reasons, do not recharge deeply discharged lithium-ion batteries if they have been stored in that condition for several months.
Is it good to drain battery once in a while?
Every lithium-ion battery comes with a fixed amount of charge cycles (the number of times you can charge up to 100 percent and run down to 0 percent). There is one reason to let your battery drain completely. If it “dies” when the battery icon is showing a positive charge, it means the battery needs to be recalibrated.
Should I drain my phone battery completely once a month?

Should you ever fully discharge a lithium ion battery?
Lithium-ion batteries should not be frequently fully discharged and recharged (“deep-cycled”). You may need to discharge it fully occasionally to recalibrate the capacitiy measuring electronics in the accumulator. Every 30 cycles or so should be enough.
Can you completely drain a lithium ion battery?
A: YES!! it is bad to fully discharge a lithium ion battery!! From a chemical side, there is a few different types of lithium ion batteries.
