    Re: How to extend the battery life of your notebook (Score: 0)
    by Anonymous on Monday, September 18 2006 @ 20:19:59 CEST

    Discharging the battery to the lower limit of a Li-ion (about 3.0-3.2V per cell), CAN help for older batteries. Although not very much (but hey what do you have to lose).

    If its a new battery the calibration procedure will do what he is describing, but not down to anywhere near 3V (which is good).

    There are some other tricks for older batteries, freezing, etc. that may or may not help. I would not recommend any of these for a new battery.
