One's laptop battery has just gone through 200 load cycles and is down to 65% health. On taking it into the manufacturers to be checked I was informed that despite them giving the battery a life of 300+ load cycles before any degradation occurs my situation was not unusual and was probably caused by leaving it 'plugged in too long'…..I have to confess that nowhere in their bumpf was that mentioned, nor did I think that that would make such a difference otherwise I'd have seen it mentioned over the years. Is this really the case ?
My usage is tame by any standards, that is no energy sapping applications needing high amounts of processing power so it leaves me puzzled. Effectively to be true to the 300 load cycles the battery would have a life of approximately a year if it was to be used daily and kept away from the power cord
