nope.
just until the battery dies and it won't be able to be charged any longer. but the amount of TIMES has nothing to do with it.
so, no:)

There isnt supposed to be and there deffinately isnt a set amount of times - it really depends on the battery - most lithium batteries (which is waht most electronic devices such as cell phones, and i think ipods use a well as many other electrical devices) tend to start to loose their charge faster the older they get. I think this has to do with the chemicals in them that contain the charge - I thik they probably just start to go bad after a while - it really is usually a hit or miss thing whether or not a device looses its charge - i know ipods are famouse for loosing their charge holding capacity once they get older

Depends on the battery technology...
If it's NiCad then they usualy say 'up to 500 times'... but a cheap charger or misuse of the charger can wreck a battery in 100 charge cycles.
If it's NiMH they last about the same - 500 to 1000 charge cycles but a wrong charger can wreck 'em much faster
LiIon are meant to be much more chargeable... but they tend to lose capacity with time - so after 5 years you'll have at best 50% of the original life.

Yes. Specially the frequency of use and the amount of drain on the batteries can be a strain on the lifespan of those batteries.
There is no set, specific amount but batteries tend to go flat sooner and sooner. There is an end to them.

Nickel Cadmium batteries (NiCads) have a charge/discharge life of about 300 cycles. Nickel Metal Hydride and Lithium Ion last longer.

I think they do have a limit like a thousand charges and stuff. My cell phone battery gave up and never charged again.

Can only recharge battery's so many times before the fizzle out on u....if you take care of em and wait for the battery to run dead before charging you will expand the life of your rechargable battery...

Yes, the batteries will eventually crap out.Overcharging and charging a battery that has not sufficiently drained will shorten battery life.
