:) I'll take sealed semi-solid batteries over acid-filled ones anytime! John's got it about right, think: older NiCd batteries had "memory effect" and would hold less of a charge if not deep-discharged and recharged once in a while. NiMH and Lithium have different characteristics and do better on a float charge than a deep-cycle. It's worth consulting the laptop manual to determine their recommendations and Google for some alternate opinions.
