[ltp] Battery dying

[John Marrett]

I am running an A20p laptop, and my primary operating system is windows.

I have had this laptop for about half a year. I don't have any battery
problems.

That being said I have noticed that from time to time my laptop does it's
own power cycle (courtesy of the IBM Battery Information applet). Anyways, I
don't know the interval it decides to do a battery power cycle, but if you
could figure it out, and follow it's schedule somehow, then it might help
with your problem...

  I have the exact sam eproblem on my i1460.  It goes from 100->75 and then
immediately to 5%.  :(  I tried reconditioning every way I know how but no
luck.
