My Thinkpad is 6¼ years old and the batteries it shipped with are at 72 and |
26 |
75 % of their original capacity. But I didn’t use them *that* much, and |
27 |
always kept them betweet 40 and 80 % charge when I didn’t need them, which |
28 |
is probably 98 % of the year. |

I don’t believe that they went down to 25 % of their original capacity |
34 |
within a year. To achieve that, they must have endured unspeakable abuse. |
