I thought that Li-Ion batteries were somewhat like flourescent lights
in that their lifetimes are most limited by age and by the number of

test charge is given to the battery every time it is activated, this
limits its life. Various System versions and hardware treat the test
activation differently so we can get considerable differences on the
life expectancy based upon this.
Does this apply also to PRAM batteries?
PRAM batteries in desktop Macs are generally ~3.3v half AA size and are
not rechargable.
In laptops.. I'm not really sure. I know they do go south and I know it
depends on the laptop as to which type you have.
