I know from experience that laptop batteries tend to sit idle on a full charge and don't recycle power. So over time they get a "memory" and become unable to hold a charge after a long period. My old I9100 was on AC for most...

My 7900GS Go failed on me last week, and I decided to get a 7950GTX Go off Ebay to replace it. I got the card, I got a 130W power supply, and I'm on it now and it's happy. The only question I have is the battery, which is the stock...
