[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1948285, member: 190607"] It's true that every time that you let a lithium battery discharge to 100%, it unrecoverably degrades the battery some. In any case, your battery is about 6 to 7 years old. That usually means that a laptop's battery is well past the end of it's expected life anyway. You can use this free utility to check your battery's status: CoconutBattery (free) [URL code="true"]http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/[/URL] If your battery's capacity is at or below about 80%, it's done. There are lots of laptop battery manufacturers. I tend to feel that the best value laptop batteries come from Egoway. They can up to to a tenth the price of an OEM battery, with good performance and life. You can get one from Amazon.
