I thought that was what had screwed my laptop battery up (at only 2 years old I would be lucky to get 30 minutes of non-plugged in time, compared to 4 hours new... whereas now at 3.5 years old I owuld have to turn wireless off and the screen to lowest brightness just to get 10 minutes) turns out it was probably the opposite problem... most of the time using it was spent plugged in, which is apprently not good for Li-ion (you would think laptop manufacturers could figure out an intelligent solution to that, ie have the laptop use some battery charge and stop it charging occasionally) |
Well, there are reports out there (and I heard similar stories from a friend of mine), that manufacturers put in an artificial memory effect making less charge available the more you charge sth. but I'm not sure how much crediability there is to that one.
