That's why you should run from the battery until it runs down at least
once a week or so

I believe this is wrong. Lithium-Ion Batteries actually suffer from
complete discharge cycles.


Any references?  This is an important topic.


I know that when I had battery problems (quick discharge), Toshiba tech
support told me that the way to ensure that the LiION battery didn't
get a "memory" was to periodically run it through a couple of complete
discharge cycles by booting a DOS floppy (no power management) and
letting the laptop run untill it died.
