I have read this theory many times and always had my doubts, which for me atleast have been confirmed.
My lappie is now 4 years old and it has run almost 24/7, at a guess, on AC(with battery still installed) for ~90% and on Battery for ~10% of it's life.
I can still run it on the original supplied battery for 1 to 2 hours depending on the workload.
It is ofcourse likely that different brands = different problems, but for me atleast there is no issue.
