I'm sure many of you know this already, but I'm a dumbass. I thought you were supposed to go from 100 to 0 to 100 for long battery life. LINK: http://www.wired.com/2013/09/laptop-battery/

Good article, WJ. I will put this into practice.

Any app makers out there who would write one to keep tabs on a battery?

Interesting. I'd probably just take out the battery when at home then as I rarely even use the battery. Laptop batteries tend to last around 2 years in my experience.

That's an even better idea. Why I never thought of that I can't fathom - oh yeah, I'm a dumbass.

Fuck.... Note to self.... Take the battery out of your laptop which functions as a desktop ( doesn't ever move).

Thanks Lexus

Good idea till there is a power cut.

Without the battery you will lose any work you are doing.

get a cheap chinese battery that lasts 10-15 minutes and swap it out when you're at home in 'desktop' mode. then it gives you time to save/etc in a power cut but you still preserve your factory battery for times when you're out and need the longer life.

My Dell has a battery saving option and only lets the battery charge 80% .Its only a $500 laptop so I assume all Dell's have it.
