Laptop batteries can and sometimes do go to total discharge if left on
battery power and forgotten. I have done that more than once on Dell and
Lenovo laptops. If you never let the charge get below 50-60% and never
above 80% or so your charge life would be what? An hour or two? Makes
little sense. Do you have a citation for your 50-60% figure?
On the subject of overcharging, most recent chargers will stop charging
once the battery is at 100%. This, however, qualifies as overcharging to
quite a few people.
