I'm asking because it warns me to plug in when it gets around 15%.<br />I just bought a new battery for my MacBook. I'd been advised to use the battery all the way down before plugging it in--advice I followed religiously while writing my dissertation. Then when it obviously needed replaced, the "Genius" at the Apple Store advised me to keep it plugged in all the time. He said the battery was designed to do 300-some cycles, and mine had done 500-some.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-92135802686031654812010-03-07T07:35:59.345-08:002010-03-07T07:35:59.345-08:00@ Venkat - Love your blog - just found it and will...@ Venkat - Love your blog - just found it and will follow along to learn more about batteries.<br /><br />We all appreciate your efforts to do the impossible as in educate the general public on a technical topic!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328839008239018757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-26421822956270685162010-03-06T23:21:43.974-08:002010-03-06T23:21:43.974-08:00Venkat,

I've already learned a lot from reading all your posts to date (and all your thoughtful answers to the comments), and I'm looking forward to future posts. Good writing, good information, applicable, understandable, great work. Keep it up!<br />If you have time, would you consider a post on storage of the various types of batteries? I.e. how to storage times and conditions affect a battery's performance on that particular charge, and on the battery's long-term performance.<br />Thanks,<br />AndyAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626315321146383558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-76529839950503614392010-03-06T13:39:57.085-08:002010-03-06T13:39:57.085-08:00Tom- There is some difference, but not a whole lot...Tom- There is some difference, but not a whole lot. In batteries like the one from A123, the voltage of the cathode is constant, so you can't take the voltage too high. So in this battery, things are better. <br /><br />On the Nissan leaf: I suspect that some games are being played. I suspect that they probably limit the voltage at the higher end. In general, you can discharge them to the end of discharge, its the charge end that is the problem. <br /><br />sygyzy- I will ask and see how to add a question form. I'm a bit web challenged (although I'm really good at surfing!). Thanks for the questions. These are helpful for future ideas for blogs. I probably should do a "battery myths" posting at some point.Venkat Srinivasannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-36180614869204486992010-03-05T20:32:11.707-08:002010-03-05T20:32:11.707-08:00What an awesome and well written blog.

One feature I'd like to see is a way to contact you or a form to submit questions or topic ideas.<br /><br />Here are a few:<br /><br />1. Do a post on battery myths (e.g. keeping them in the refrigerator makes them last longer)<br />2. Explain what the cut off points are (in volts) for rechargeable. For example, for a 1.2v NiMH AA, how far would it need to drop before I should recharge it? How far before it's too late/dangerous?<br />3. An overview of Li-ion cells and the caveats and challenges with properly charging them (voltage, cut off, etc), risk of fire and explosion, etc.sygyzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681416792612410666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-4095852841470401932010-03-05T01:58:48.238-08:002010-03-05T01:58:48.238-08:00Well written!Well written!DiDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107316556202532090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002016549730514348.post-29669966783171655442010-03-02T13:30:43.154-08:002010-03-02T13:30:43.154-08:00Then what about the new Nissan Leaf EV?
