| 715348 | 2008-10-28 07:03:00 | We have a laptop which we use almost wholly on mains power. When we use it therefore we (almost always) switch on at the wall before we logon. I understand that the battery only lasts for a certain number of usages. Should we therefore take the battery out frequently .......or does it not matter because we switch on at the wall first and therefore there are no battery "usages" on these occasions ? Hope that makes sense ! Misty :rolleyes: |

| 715349 | 2008-10-28 07:15:00 | Keep it out, or keep it in but remember to fully discharge it and charge it (without turning it on) at least one a week. Correct Me if I didn't understand your question correctly:D Blam |

| 715351 | 2008-10-28 07:29:00 | Yes that is generally just for old Ni-CAD's, although it is a good idea to discharge them once in awhile. If you aren't using the batteries you might as while charge them to about 75%, then remove them until needed. |

Is 75% an optimum figure, or is the reasoning about three/quarters. Will be a bit tricky to work out as will have to pull out the plug to find out how much it is charged. If I pull out, check, then put in again and then repeat would that be detrimental ? Misty :illogical |

| 715355 | 2008-10-28 07:52:00 | Believe I've read it somewhere. I know you shouldn't store them fully charged or discharged. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
