I was over at the notebook review forums, and one forum member asked how often he should take the battery out of the notebook in order to extend battery life. Here's Justin's reply:
So to everyone that is worrying about how to preserve battery life, don't worry about it!

The more you kill it / charge it the more it'll lose over the years, and it's only going to be marginally different than a battery that rarely gets used but stays charged in the system all the time......
In other words..... don't worry about it.... get a new battery in a couple years before they stop making batteries for your system and use it freely now! |
