Can't help but notice you felt it was important to use the qualifier "normally".

What does "recondition the battery" mean?
The battery circuitry tracks charge level and usage patterns to estimate how much time you have left. If you go for a while without draning the battery all the way, the estimates can become inaccurate. Therefore it is recommended that you deep-cycle the battery about once a month, draining it all the way then charging it all the way up. This reminds the circuitry of the actual capacity of the battery, and this is what is called reconditioning.
Don't be tempted to drain the battery every time. While deep-cycling was necessary with NiCads and NiMH batteries, it's bad for Li-ion batteries.

I love baked Apples.
Well, it keeps my lap nice and warm, since I couldn't afford my heating bill after purchasing the powerbook... ;)
Gotta get your priorities straight, s'all.
feh. stuff.
I have the phrase "HQ405" burned into the top of my thigh... All the chicks think it's a prison tatoo.

1. Go to store and by some hard Caramel candy, at least a pound
2. Place pieces unwrapped on keyboard of Powerbook and turn on. Place the pieces on every other key to allow maximum coverage of Caramel
3. Let over heat and allow Caramel to spread
4. Enjoy!

I have a powerbook, and I love it, but after using it on my lap for 30 minutes, I can't have children anymore.
Hmm HQ... cant see the rest. Its melted away. How do I tell?
But that's just natural selection eliminating Mac users from the genetic pool.
Here, lemme just pop out the battery and check my serial numb
Guy #1: "Man this Powerbook is HOT."
Guy #2: "Yeah, it is pretty sexy I guess."
Guy #1: "No, I mean it is singeing my pubes dude."
And Dell never has battery problems
