Why is it my cellular batter works like new and it is 2+ years old.  My older laptop battery lasted about 3 years IIRC  I just bought a  laptop that gets little use.  I've been wondering how long the batter might last. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Sun, 9/12/10, Dazed_75 wrote: From: Dazed_75 Subject: Re: battery overcharging To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Sunday, September 12, 2010, 6:55 PM It really is best to regularly run on battery and not just run continusly on AC with the battery in.  My HP battery life is down to seconds because I did that. That said, I understand more modern systems have better charge control circuitry to reduce that effect.
