Neato! My Dell laptop dies if it's not plugged in after 30minutes of usage. As for the Li-On batteries..
Well, I work at Cingular and sell phones all day. We used to not specify with our customers on how to charge their batteries..just the fact that the Li-On batteries don't require a minimum life amount to be charged like the old batteries did. So, with that said, I have customers who charge their battery for the first time while driving home from our store. They then unplug it like 20 minutes later (when they get home) and continue to charge it overnight until it's full. Most of those customers, always come back to the store about a week later to complain that their battery is not holding its charge....
So I've been telling customers not to charge their phone until they sleep that night to give it an over-night charge. The customers that follow that idea still haven't had any problems with their battery holding its charge. It seems as if these batteries have like a first-time-charge-memory or something. Would something like that make sense?

Eh...I'm still waiting for that tiny little rotary motor that UC Berkley was working on. It was about the size of a penny and could power a laptop for about 3 hours on a shotglass worth of butane or propane...and that was just the prototype. I think eventually batteries will get phased out in favor of shit like that.
