[QUOTE="lifeafter2am, post: 253649, member: 20101"] "Li-ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect. They also have a low self-discharge rate of approximately 5% per month, compared with over 30% per month and 20% per month in nickel metal hydride batteries and nickel cadmium batteries, respectively" Thats from wikipedia, so I would guess not. I should read the links that I post. :yinyang: [edit] Tech Specs from apple website: "Battery and power 15-inch MacBook Pro 60-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery (with integrated charge indicator LEDs) providing up to 4.5 hours of battery life(1) 17-inch MacBook Pro 68-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery (with integrated charge indicator LEDs) providing up to 5.5 hours of battery life(1)" Not the same as a Li-Ion, as I just looked. Here is the wikipedia on it: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-polymer[/url] Looks like its a newer version of it, but doesnt say if it has memory effects. [/edit] --lifeafter2am [/QUOTE]
