All right then.
Thanks a lot for your helps. I followed one of the suggestions, to google for a how to or something. Google, with some little work, actually did its job, and got me this:

Apparently, to make a lithium ions battery live longer, one should actually not discharge it all all the time, and do that only once in about 30 cycles to cancel memory effects. Also, they suggest to extract it, when on AC power (the shop guy wasn't completely wrong after all), although that may give some problems.

If some of you know anything more than me about hardware, or chemistry stuff, have a go at reading it, and maybe share your knowledge with the rest of us, who PC like a little part of our brain and a better interface between what we plan and what we actually do, and don't know anything about how they actually work. Well, this applies to me at least.

PS:IF anybody run into different information, please let me know!


Now thats interesting!

my laptop - ASUS L3800C has 2 of the laptop feet on it. If I take it out then the base of the laptop rests on the table/bench/ground (love wireless)

A design flaw perhaps? although according to acpi -V I have never seen the laptop overcharge the battery...

thanks for the info

Ben.
