Hi all.
I am having a disagreement with the IT department here and with my co=
lleagues over rechargeable batteries.
They say that you are supposed to run down the battery every so often=
to help clear its "memory" and make it last longer.
I say that it is shortens the life span. I am not 100% sure, but I t=
hink it has something to do with chemical make up.
Then the IT department said it was just for these laptop batteries. =
Esp since the sales rep said you were supposed to do this. (uh huh..=
..I believe a sales rep...)
This all started because my laptop battery goes dead in 5 minutes. I=
very rarely run it off the battery because of this. I say they shou=
ld buy me a new one and the IT people say I have to teach the battery=
....
So who's right and why?
Thanks

PS the laptop battery is a Li-Ion battery.
