I read some tech docs on li-on > cells; if you can store at 50% charge in the fridge and when in use don't > let it run down 100%. in my opinion, there's just one rule: Don't trust anybody. There are so many people who claim do be professionals, who say totally contrary things. On the one hand, there are many 'facts' which are falsely applied to LiIon-batteries which don't apply. On the other hand, there are many stories people remember from years long ago or from cheap notebooks without an 'intelligent' battery.
Just to add another story from me: I have two batteries in my notebook, the one is always drowned to zero before the other one is being used (no, there are no possibilities to control that in my case). The one being drowned first, though not that often used that hard (appr once a week) was nearly dead after 1 1/2 years (6/23Wh), while the other one still has 23/27Wh. Regards, Julian
