from the article: "It's recommended to perform partial discharges to capacity levels of 20~30% and frequent charges, instead of performing a full discharging followed by a full charging."

with my manlish skill, i think it means that the most, use it up to 20-30% remain... BUT frequent charges is also recommended = just charge whenever u can, even if still got 90%...

also, interesting to know, if u wanna store battery for long time, best store your battery with only 40% capacity...

there is also an interesting info on charge time from apple; 2 hours to charge battery to 80%, 2 more hours to charge the remain...

I see. Thanks for sharing the information. Sharing is caring. icon_rolleyes.gif

Did you always do that to your battery?

There is a few posts up there stating that reducing the charges would pro long the battery life because every battery have charge cycle, but you say frequent charge is RECOMMENDED??

(according to those articles) it is true that after a large number of cycle of charges, the capacity will drop BUT a complete cycle is not count as how often u charge... say, u have 80% left, charge back to 100%, and do that 5 times, u only complete 1 charge cycle.

icon_rolleyes.gif at least that is how i understand it... and i do practice that...
