    :toshiba: :toshiba: I have a quick question. At the end of the day my battery life is about 60% with my old notebook they said that I should not plug the battery in overnight. They said that if I kept the juice plugged into the battery after it is charged fully it could harm it, is this true with my Toshiba?

    new batts aren't like that anymore. It is fine to leave it plugged in.

    I would still discharge the notebook from time to time - maybe deplete it down to 20-30% once a month and then charge it back up, just so the battery keeps its charge.

    after being plugged in for long periods at a time your battery loses memory to hold charged

    it will give life times of about 10 minutes

    i discharge my battery at least once a day

    i had a DELL do it to me in Aug. 2005

    i got the laptop in OCT 2004

    dont remember how i did it i think i went on vacation for like 2 weeks or something

    anyways tech support just sent me a new battery
