[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1097997"] [URL="http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm"]This article[/URL] explains the chemistry behind Lithium Ion batteries clearly. It's a good read. Note in paragraph four it refers to the "digital memory" issue that gives the appearance of reduced capacity in batteries that are kept topped up. Bottom line: the appearance of rejuvenated batteries when fully discharged is not a rejuvenation of the battery but a recalibration of the fuel gauge.
