Default Re: Can I make my NMHi battery last (nearly) forever?

Is this an old laptop? I thought almost all laptops for a LONG time were Lithium.

If it is NiMH, then yes keeping it from getting discharged all the way will help keep it alive longer. Deep discharging is the worst. Cells start getting "reversed" and this damages them.

I answered your question in my second paragraph. I wanted to make sure you had NiMH batteries - otherwise my answer doesn't do you much good.
