Lithium ion batteries by nature begin to degrade as soon as they are manufactured and have a limited life regardless of whether they are used or not. Three years is an average lifespan for a laptop battery. Some good information @ http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm -- D I'm not an MVP a VIP nor do I have ESP. I was just trying to help. Please use your own best judgment before implementing any suggestions or advice herein. No warranty is expressed or implied. Your mileage may vary. See store for details.

The other poster is right. Lithium ion batteries are a "use it or lose it"

This forces the machine to fully discharge the battery and then recharge. In this process it seems to 'turn on' the charging circuit. See if that helps Ron |
