Awesome.
I have found that if I charge a LiPoly battery frequently/intermittently, the battery life is drastically reduced. Has happened on my Mac, has happened on my cellphone.
Once I "completely" discharge and fully charge again, normality is restored.

Now I know it's not actually the battery life, but the "fuel gauge" that's misinterpreted by the device. So it thinks I'm running out, but I'm not actually.

I guess I'll try to keep doing what I do ... charge when I get below 10%.
