How do you stop USB connection from recharging the phone(for E72)

Just chraged it yesterday and I don't want frequent auto recharging via USB connection while I connect to PC suite ruins the battery for me as repeated charge and discharge would ruin  Li-Ion battery....so how do you disable recharging via USB while connecting to the PC?

 

 

Thanks

Li-Ion batteries do not develop memory effect like NiCad and are not harmed by long term connection. Intelligent charging techniques have to be used with Li-Ion, so when the battery is at full capacity, the charger circuits go into a low current pulse mode, to maintain the charge. It won't do any harm to leave it connected.

I have been searching for this matter. I still worry about the life time of the battery :smileysad:

It is better if the battery does not charge when conncent to the PC but how to set the option ?
