Really long 1% battery life...tum tum tum

[cliff320]

steveo, it looks like you might need a new battery (660 cycles!)



Anyway, I did two reconditioning discharges (kept the thinkpad on until it just ran out of juice and died, and then recharged it while it was off). The instructions I followed were exactly like the ones in the post above.

So here's the overview:
Model of thinkpad: T23
Number of cells: 6
Design capacity: 43.20
Full charge capacity: 17.78
Number of charge cycles: 95
Manufacture Date: 2003-03-06 Sanyo
First use date: 2003-06


After two discharges:
Full charge capacity: 31.47 Wh
(it went up to about 27 Wh after the first discharge, so I figure a third discharge would an even smaller effect if any at all).

So in the end, not too bad.
