Automatic Battery Conditioning

120 points posted to Laptop Power by tmcqueen 02/23/07

I've seen Battery Conditioners that cycle through draining and recharging the battery several times in order to keep batteries in top shape. It would be nice to have this feature on Dell notebooks, maybe an option to condition the battery while the laptop is on AC power?

There are a finite number of discharge cycles on Li-Ion cells, the more you use them, the more they wear.
The deeper you discharge them , the faster they wear out.
