[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 937002, member: 24098"] I think what Eric was trying to tell you subtlety is that this topic has been broached quite a few times. Generally speaking, keeping deep discharges to a minimum will yield better overall longevity. But since batteries are consumables and lose capacity over time, don't sweat it too much and just use the machine the way you want to. In my experience with the hundreds of laptops I support, the average battery lasts about 3 years under normal use. [/QUOTE]
