    I just got my M1530 yesterday, and it says that it is fully charged at 95%. When I first plugged it in it was at 100%, then last night I noticed it was fully charged at 96% and now it is fully charged at 95%. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it? Or did I just get a bad battery?

    16 hours? why? I thought Lithium Ion batteries don't have battery memory? The more you charge it the faster the battery dies.

    Huh? I would assume the battery would stop charing once it is full, so leaving it on AC power won't "continually" charge it.
