    I don't believe that LiOn batteries require full charges/discharges to maintain proper battery performance, unlike NiCd batteries which have that annoying "memory" problem. I've had several notebooks and the batteries have always shown degraded performance after about a year to 18 months of normal use. Generally 3 years is about the usable life of a notebook battery before it has to be replaced, in my experience.

    The above comment is 100% correct, and the author should do more research before writing next time.

    An article which describes all that is needed about the physical aspects of the battery is on wikipedia
