That makes it 3 years and 2 months since my purchase of the ibook new. I just keep the battery in the ibook all the time and it charges when the AC adaptor is used, which is most of the time. When I do use battery power and let it totally discharge, it still doesn't seem to affect the battery life after it is fully charged again. Tom
