Stephen Michael Seme Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:15:30 +0000 http://4sysops.com/?p=2815#comment-148984 Thanks Michael for alot of great info!! Since I use my laptop as a desktop, I always keep it plugged in and my battery is at a 35% to 40% "Time Remaining" level according to the battery indicator icon in my sys tray. I keep my battery stored in the fridge @ 34 degrees F.(According to you). Two questions Michael: 1.)It is stated that my Li-ion battery should have between 300-1000 charges. At an average of 650 [(300+1000=1300)divided by 2=650] therefore if I use my battery once per month does that mean that my battery should last for 54.16 years? (650 months divided by 12 months = 54.16 years) 2.)How do you respond to that if I do keep my battery at a 40-20% charge, when I do need this battery, do I fully charge it before using, or do I drain the battery to 10% then recgarge to 100%? Thanks again Michael! Respectively, D. Stephen Michael Seme Thanks Michael for alot of great info!!
