Now nearly 1 yr, in 38 charging cycles, the battery capacity of my T42 
has dropped from 4700mAh (designed) to 4200mAh (fully charged).   
Projecting this degradation into next yr, it will be practically giving 
me only 2-hr running by next X'mas.

To be honest, I've been using the battery with great care and have 
removed the battery while running on AC.  And 38 charge cycles in 1 yr 
does NOT seem too frequent.

How's yours?  Really an IBM (not Lenovo) quality issue?

Thanks,
