The laptop battery maintenance: conflicting advice in the Knowledge Base?

According to article MSW700073, taking care of your laptop batteryKnowledge Base, you should:

"Use your battery to keep it cool. Don't let your computer permanently connected. It's a good idea to discharge and then recharge your laptop battery once a month. In addition, you should let your battery run before that recharge you it. »

On the other hand, article Specifies how is battery meter? (no number; emphasis added):

"Most laptops use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Like most batteries, lithium-ion batteries gradually lose their ability to store energy as they get older, whether or not charge you. Over time, this change in storage capacity significantly affects the accuracy of the battery meter. If frequently drain you a lithium-ion battery, and then recharge it, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge, which affects the accuracy of the battery meter. The practice of completely draining the battery and then full charge is recommended which applied to batteries nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and, to a lesser extent, the nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum load of about 40 percent capacity.

These statements seem contradictory.  Which is correct? If they are really contradictory, how do you get the incorrect an answer key?

Thank you

Yes, it is true that computer end up by losing their properties, but they are still ok, it's a good idea to 'exercise' the battery now and again...

    I became a contributor on 09/09/12. Today is 9/13. I'm just starting to get used to the knowledge base. My screens now are sort of gray, where they were mostly white. I'm assuming that the knowledge base is now run on a newer version. Is this correct?

  • Permissions of the Knowledge Base

    Is possible to set the access permission?  For example, the analyst can see the paper, but not the design document

    Instantis has no permissions at this level.  Either you can see all of the files or none.

    Inside of a project, a document can be marked as confidential, and you can allow a role to see this document.  In the Knowledge Base, there is not a way to mark a document as confidential, as most of the documents in the KB a few models.

    1 I'm on Firefox version 3.6.10 on Windows XP SP3.
    2 three days ago Secunia PSI informed me that the installed version of Flash was a threat to security so I uninstalled then installed the latest version 10.1.85.3. It appears in the Control Panel Add and remove programs lists.
    3 days ago 2 ACEs of BBC iplayer continues to tell me that I have to install (the most recent version of?) Flash.
    4 I don't have this problem with my Internet Explorer Help.
    5 assuming I needed to enable Flash in Firefox I went to Tools/Addons/Plugins, but Flash is not listed there.
    6 support Firefox/basic knowledge to install the Flash plugin does not help - step 2, I don't see the yellow bar "additional plugins are required..." "when I go to the Adobe test page, but why should I, it is already installed.
    6 What happens - please help!

  • Cannot install the router firmware-impossible to access the knowledge base to do.

    Hello

    complete newb here.

    I'm having some trouble with the abandonment WRT610N router whenever I put on new devices on the network and I go to the download of the firmware update - FW_WRT610N_1.00.03.15_20090514- but I don't know how to install it. It is a .bin file.

    I'm reading the F.A.Q.S. on how to install a firmware on the router, but I can't access the database of knowledge here and I can't create an account to access either.

    How to install firmware?

    I tried just looking for updates via Lela and he says no update.

    I can't finad any program to open the .bin file.

    Duane

    I managed to get the update of the firmware.

    The problem is I think that my router is pretty buggy and unfortunately I got a defective router for purchase.

    It kept stalling on me and go through the steps of power flashing randomly.

    I had replaced it where I bought it and the new router is not a problem at all.

    Thank you for all your help

    Yesterday, January 25, 2011, I could go directly to an article in the knowledge base such as:http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=973687 or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749 and he would take me directly to the article.

    Today, January 26, 2011, I get a page titled "Microsoft Support" that has the link in the address bar, but nothing useful on the page.

    If I select advanced search and search for kb973687, I get a list of success but if I select a great success trying to go to the KB article I will return less useful page.

    At the same time as you had problems, I had problems as well.
