    摘要: A technique for prolonging the life of a rechargeable battery in a computer is disclosed, wherein an automatic discharging and charging cycle occurs only during a time when the user does not anticipate ever needing to operate the computer using the battery. In another technique for prolonging the life of a rechargeable battery, to eliminate frequent topping off of the battery's charge by the computer's recharging routine, the battery is only automatically topped off after a relatively long interval if the computer remains plugged in. Such topping off may occur after the battery charge has fallen to a certain charge level or only after an extended time period. The time period may be set by the user. By topping off less frequently, the battery life is extended.
