The above is my personal observation based on the fact that I have owned a laptop since they were first available (my first was a 386 with Ni-Cad batteries) and have used just about every battery technology and have run several laptops into the ground.

Legion based on your experience is there a specific charge/discharge cycle to follow ? And what about leaving a fully charged battery installed when running on the AC adapter ? Thanks
