It's current numbers are: design capacity: 4400 mAh last full capacity: 3600 mAh I've not really taken care of it well though. A friend of mine has encourage me to use it on the battery and only plug it in to charge. Then let it drain almost to empty before charging again. He claims this can help reclaim lost capacity. Anyone ever heard of that before? __________________________________ Yahoo!
