Hi!

I know I've seen this post before but since I can't find my reference, I
thought I would ask again.

I have a Thinkpad 755CX (SVGA, MWave) that has a LiIon battery. I don't know
whether this is coincidence but since I've upgraded my machine to Win95, I
notice that my suspend mode only last for 6-8 hours at best. Previously with
Win 3.1 I could suspend the machine overnight without any problems and still
have time to work before I would have to plug in the adapter.

First off, I thought LiIon batteries didn't have this memory problem and that
they could last much longer than NiM batteries. Secondly, is there a way of
rejuvenating the battery? Believe it or not, I use the IBM Fuel utility to
discharge and recharge my battery on a regular basis, in the hopes that this
exact problem wouldn't occur.

Thanks in advance!

...patrick
