Wise advice from Toshiba, Christopher. I try to let mine
run down at least once a month, and the battery has lasted
about 3 years so far, and still gives me close to the
expected time off charge. Aside from that, it's on charge
all day when I'm in the office.
George.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100, and what I do is that I
let it do a complete charge/discharge so that the battery
life can be preserved. Is this OK, as I was told to do this
from the Toshiba user manual. Thanks for any help.
