    Does anyone knows of a software to help discharge/recharge your notebook batterie to extend its life. I dont want it to have a too big memory so, draining it and refilling it a couple of time would help. I know I can do it myself but I Heard there was softwares that do it in a better way than human can do.

    Anyone ?

    The lithium batteries in your laptop are not like (for instance) your metal nickel hydride batteries where the occasional charge/discharge cycle can be beneficial.
    Lithium have a finite number of charge/discharge cycles and they also do not benefit from performing that type of cycle. Don’t worry about this as an issue

    it doesnt actually do it for you but it monitors the discharge and recharge while in use.
