I've heard that before yeah, but all the laptops I've owned ended up struggling in the last 25% to 10% of battery life. I don't know enough about battery technology to understand why. In practice running it down worked fine. That first battery I had lasted about a year from new. I've had this one for 4yrs now and I still can get 2-3h out of one charge. I'm not sure which type it is though. Will check.
