[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 700822, member: 21101"] Actually, that's where you'd be wrong. Modern lithium Polymer batteries are designed to be used regularly, charged regularly (half depletes and half charges are typical) and they're certainly not designed to remain fully charged over extended periods of time. In fact, they also don't like multiple deep-discharges over a short period of time. If you're going to use your laptop as a 'desktop replacement', you're better off removing the battery completely and storing it at about 40% charge in a cool place. You may get some joy by callibrating the battery a few times, but to be honest, once they start failing it happens quickly, and you may just have to buy a new one. [/QUOTE]
