Should I calibrate my T42's battery?

#1 Post by rocketman » Mon Nov 22, 2004 10:35 am

I leave my T42 plugged into the AC pretty much all the time. Should I calibrate the battery since I only use it when I'm out of the house and most of the time I use it at home?

no, wear on the battery far outweighs any benefit from calibration.....

I wouldn't say so. Emptying it once a month or so isn't wear it out more than just letting it fully charged all the time, or just lying around, for that matter. They wear out no matter what you do, it just goes faster with more cycles.
