[X4U] Laptop battery life?

Both are true, but what I wrote is more true. (c:

Cycling will stress the battery, but not as much as charge states  
above 80, 90 percent and high operating temperatures.
The self-destructing tendencies of the aggressive LiIon chemistry  
work much, much stronger once you hit high charge levels.

If you do not use a battery, you should charge it to like 60% and  
then store it in the fridge, i. e. cool but above the freezing point.  
This way you can buy backup batteries for machines that are  
discontinued.
