Interesting... I never knew that about Li-Ion batteries. I would say given
over the course of a year, about three times a week, so 52x3 = 106. I use this
computer constantly because like most of us, it's my lifeline for work.

So, if I get the general jist of it, I'm probably looking at buying a new
battery then?
