[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1343060, member: 99923"] I have to agree with most of the above, except for the cycles killing the battery. A battery can die at 50 cycles, 300 cycles, or even 1000 cycles. The better you treat your battery the longer it will last (in cycles). And yes I have seen a good battery over 1000 cycles, PowerBook G4; 1240 cycles and ran for 1.5-2.5 hours. Here is what I have been teaching in battery care, this is my opinion based on my experience as a laptop technician, other opinions my differ. The best way to cycle the battery is to Fully charge the battery (100%) then drain the battery very low, I usually plug mine in when it says I am running on reserve battery. Never let you battery sit un used for long periods of time (months/years). I would run it on battery at least one cycle every 2 weeks at a minimum. [/QUOTE]
