You can try removing it and put it back again but if there is no improvement, your battery is probably ageing.

Some even said to keep the battey in the fridge if not in use for a long time to prolong the life. Whatever it is, the battery has its lifetime and will deteriote over time so don't worry too much about it.

Now that I do not need carry additional power adaptor, I should say no complaints. <br /><br />The battery needs to be removed from the laptop at least once in order to get 100% charge. (I think the purpose is to make sure there is no current going through the cells, which is like reset). Otherwise, I found it could only reach 95%. Now the standby time is 8 hours, tested 3 times already. If I run programs, it could last up to 7 hours, pretty amazing already. <br />Thanks for all of your information.Zeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734336689828977340.post-40373589525475175712009-05-18T11:12:00.000+08:002009-05-18T11:12:00.000+08:00Hi Zee,

This is just my experience so it may vary with...Hi,<br />This is just my experience so it may vary with individuals and the brand of battery. You can just charge your battery straightaway and it should reach 100% but may take some time once you reach 99%. It would not reach 100% only after some recharging cycles and that's when you need to remove the battery for a few minutes. I have seen some battery quoted with 1,000 charging cycles but a battery also has a shelf life of 2-3 years so it will become useless after that. In any case, you may have got a new netbook by then so you need not worry too much about the battery life; just enjoy your S10!
