The cycle only does damage when the battery is discharged beyond 50-60%, which a li-on battery should not allow. It is not the charge that does the damage it is the discharge, so either this diagnosis is not correct or battery makers are morons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
