| 833276 | 2009-11-25 00:23:00 | This (labnol.blogspot.com) might help a little.. unfortunately a few old wives tales in there This will help KILL a Nimh batt "4. If you have a nickel-metal hydride battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to maximize its capacity to hold a charge." Do NOT completely drain Nimh's. I think they meant Nicad, big difference Try http://www.batteryuniversity.com/ |

For those times that you might leave the battery out, don't do so with the battery fully charged (or discharged). Optimum is 41% charged when not installed in the laptop. Misty :2cents: |

| 833280 | 2009-11-25 11:01:00 | When its fully charged and you still have it connected to the recharger take the batt out and you can use it with the wall plug in the laptop it stop it continuing to recharge, use and recharge. | chuanwai (12518) | ||
| 833281 | 2009-11-25 18:32:00 | When its fully charged and you still have it connected to the recharger take the batt out My understanding is that this a fire risk. Misty :illogical |
