																						it's the same as old mobile phone batteries it was recommended that
you drain them once every while to keep them working well. Bit yeah
running them to empty is just using the laptop until it puts itself to
sleep.

But it did cause me some problems last year when I went to Glastonbury
and left my laptop on because I was running some torrents well it's
killed the backup battery and now if I run out of power I need to wait
until the power is back up to 3% or I don't get any joy out of the
thing, well at least it didn't burn the house down.
