from that site:
"most people sit their laptops on a desk and use ac power, so the battery
usually suffers, resulting in chemical 'memory', which gives them a life of
about 3 seconds...if you have nicd or nimh batteries..."
afaik laptop batteries are pretty much all Li-ion (including Thinkpad 400
batteries which this guy is supposed to be talking about) and these do
*not* have the 'memory' problem that Nicad's suffered from. It has been my
experience that Li-ion batteries are more like lead-acid in behaviour and
if they go *dead* flat they will not take a subsequent charge. They also
have a life of around 3 years max.
