Battery Care in Regulated Mods

[rogue zombie]

Just have a few questions regarding 18650 batteries in regulated mods:

1) Is it not recommended charging it before the battery is flat?
2) Is the charge on-board (in the mod) a "lesser" charge, than if I use a proper battery charger? i.e will charging the battery in a proper charger give me a "longer or better" charge than charging it in the mod?

1) A regulated mod won't fire if battery discharges too low, and 99% of all regulated mods will have build in protection in this sense.
2) No, it just charges slower (500mA) than an external charger (1 to 2A, depending on make and model).
