laptop battery capacity

[mike havens]

For clarification:
I think you also don't want the battery in if you only run the lap-top while
the lap-top is plugged in. Isn't one of the deals with rechargeables that it
only has a certain amount of charge time? Therefore, you don't always want
to have it plugged in and charging.
