Not A Good Idea At All
This tip is AFAIK very much wrong.
Generally modern notebook use Li-Ion Bateries. They do *not* show age related wear that the old Ni-Cd batteries have. And they do *not* lose capacity when not fully depleated before being recharged. They actually lose capacity when left uncharged for some time.

Which is of course why my battery lasts about 1/2 hr if I'm lucky. I using a PowerBook G4/500.

I had the same problem with the same machine. The problem I believe stems to around the time I upgraded to Jaguar - there are many on the Apple support forums with the same experience. Apple has been notably quiet. Over the past 4 months, I have read and implemented dozens of techniques for improving battery life that have done nothing. Eventually I bit the bullet and bought a new battery - I now get an astonishing 4 hours battery life which is more than I had when the machine was new or with any previous OS or PowerBook.

Hmm. My new 12" PB got 2.5+ hours out of the box but after 10.2.4 I notice it now gets barely 2 hours on a full charge. The thing is a month old, tops! I wonder if the update had anything to do with it... |
