Is this right: I charge my battery, let it get close to 0, and then charge again?

[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1466872, member: 56379"] If you're talking about running the laptop off battery power 100% of the time…in my humble opinion yes. I say…operate the laptop off the battery when you are not near an electrical plug…and plug the laptop in when you are near an electrical plug. Why the heck run the laptop on battery power when you're just 3 feet from an electrical plug??;) If you ALWAYS use the laptop on just battery power…IMHO…you're just accumulating unnecessary battery charge/discharge cycles. Lots of folks will and do have differing opinions…so at the end of the day…you got to do what you feel is best in your situation.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
