Well when I ran the R in support mode on the 18-cell it did not reset the recycle count either.

But like you, even though I've run mine flat, I'm at something like 50. I think it did go back to 1 when I manually recalibrated it with the R off the support mode. Maybe that's the only way to make it go back to one, even though it recalibrates when run flat? Comments, Humanware?
