I got a new battery for my wife's iBook. It's Li-Ion. the battery she has now has over 450 cycles, and holds about 55% of the original capacity. So I cannot really complains. But, I remember reading somewhere (I think on this forum) that if you don't fully charge a Li cell, i.e. you stop at 4.1V instead of the Maximum 4.2V, the energy stored in the cell is a little less (80-90% or so) but you basically double the number of cycles you get form the cell.
Is this also true with laptop batteries? if I tell het to keep an eye on it and unplug it whenever it reaches 85-90% instead of 100% charge, will that help in the long term?
Thanks
