LAPTOP BATTERY CALIBRATION
===========================
Laptop batteries last about a year and a half on average.  But there are things you can do to extend the life of a laptop battery.  The best solution is to calibrate or recondition your battery every few months depending on use. 

To calibrate your laptop using most Windows platforms, start by rebooting your PC.  When your Windows logo appears press the F8 key at the top of your keyboard.  This will take you to a Windows startup menu.  Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking, if you want to continue online while the battery is charging. 

Once you get to the desktop screen, unplug your power supply, and allow the battery to use all of it’s power.  When battery is completely drained, simply plug in the power, and allow the battery to fully charge.  Your done.  Nothing to it!
