On a related note:

Never, ever, allow a LiON battery (notebook, PDA, cellphone, iPOD, digicam, etc..) to run down completely to zero. It ruins the battery.

So when storing an unused notebook for long periods of time, REMOVE the fully-charged battery for separate storage. I periodically recharge my idle devices here to keep them from killing the batteries.

Cheers


I was under the impression that LiON batterys stored best at about 50% charge. It has to do with the electrolyte crystallizing either, when completly discharged, or when overcharged. Said crystals cause punctures in the insulating layers of the cell.
