I read all this stuff about batteries. Charging them, conditioning them,
memory, and stuff. But very little of that corresponds to anything I learned on
the way to my Chemistry degree. I'm guessing that keeping the temperature
moderate is more important than most people are saying. I leave my batteries
charging almost all the time. The temperature in Santa Cruz is moderate, and
changes little over the course of a year. My batteries last a long time.

Ideally, I'd like a BYD battery. That's likely to be what Lenovo is buying. But
since I don't read Chinese, I'd go with something cheap from Chuck's list. If
it breaks, and you buy another one, you've still saved a lot. Otherwise,
there's a good chance you are getting exactly the same battery with a different
brand name.
