| 260505 | 2004-08-12 09:27:00 | I have a new Asus Laptop which I mainly use in the office. How should I store the battery? charged or not? | theother1 (3573) | ||
| 260506 | 2004-08-13 10:53:00 | My vote would be for charging the battery at least once a week and fully discharging it at least once a month. I've done that for over 3 years and the battery is still perky. | Shortstop (632) | ||

Other than that - I'd have to say the same as godfather, NiMh batteries do not have a memory affect - recharging and charging them should not result in a loss of charge. |

So I have run the laptop on battery until it shut down due to a low battery charge, then charged it fully - and have repeated this 3 times. Now the battery appears to have been rejuvenated and now I will take it out and store it separately. BTW if anyone wants to try the above drain/recharge, be sure to alter the Power Settings / on Battery - via the Control Panel - so that the laptop does not automatically shut down after a few minutes. |
