The life and death of a laptop battery

I end up punishing the batteries in my stuff with 100% -> 0% -> 100% cycles frequently and don't feel bad about it. The battery exists to conform to my needs, not the other way round! I'm not going to use my stuff in patterns I find inconvenient just to baby an inanimate object.

I do this too, but for me it works really well.

my 4 year old iphone 4 got 3 days on a single charge when I got rid of it.

My year old 6 still gets 2-2.5 days per charge.
