1189343	2011-03-25 07:15:00	Can a battery in a netbook while running on AC power be damaged or have reduced battery life?	QW. (15883)
1189344	2011-03-25 07:44:00	Not as far as I know - but you should occasionally let it go nearly flat and charge it up again.	johnd (85)
1189345	2011-03-25 07:47:00	Modern technology supplies a trickle charge to keep the battery conditioned while plugged in. In saying that, the battery should last longer when fully charged then unplugged and run flat, and so on :pf1mobmini:	jareemon (5207)
1189346	2011-03-25 08:20:00	not quite flat as run down a bit. Running them ultra flat can damage them too :)	8ftmetalhaed (14526)

1189348	2011-03-26 08:13:00	Guys, some of you have no idea of the requirements of Lithium batteries and give advice as if they were Lead acid ones. This is very bad advice. yqk, have a good read here batteryuniversity.com This should answer your question.	linw (53)
1189349	2011-03-27 05:53:00	OK - but one would hope that the electronics deciding how much battery use you have left would stop the battery from hitting rock bottom??	johnd (85)
1189350	2011-03-27 07:38:00	Yes, indeed. All Lithium powered devices certainly should have over and under voltage protection. It is vital for battery protection and safety.	linw (53)
1189351	2011-03-27 08:44:00	not quite flat as run down a bit. Running them ultra flat can damage them too :) Can that shorten the life of the battery.	QW. (15883)
1189352	2011-03-27 09:35:00	I read somewhere that Lithium based batteries last best when not charged over 75% of capacity and never discharged below 25% of capacity.	Agent_24 (57)
