I've tried that on several models of Thinkpad and friends have tried it on
several other models. All the test resul

Regarding the removal off the battery when on AC, i was wondering if
that's a good thing to do. I was told the battery "filters" the spikes
from the powernet so the electronics of you laptop get a stable spike
free current
So the "filter" story is nonsense?

You surely mean that in a general sense, right? You're not talking about
cpu/system temperature as measured by termal sensors, are you?
I surely would like to only remove my battery and get a laptop that stops

I'm no expert here, but from what I can tell by reading the last week's posts,
FULL DRAINS ARE BAD FOR LI-ION
I'd say that's your main problem, and since you're now draining it to 4%, it
sounds like your battery might start degrading more rapidly. (I have no idea
about the truth of that latter

My LiIon battery gets heavy use. Twice a day (on the way to work, and
back again) I use it for 1.5 hours, typically compiling code. I used to
go from 100% to 25%, but now I just make it t

Does this mean it'd be best to stop working at 40 % ?
Never use up the battery's capabil
