let batt cool before recharge?
Posted by marlinspike on August 3rd, 2003


Hello,
From my days in racing built-it-youself remote control cars, I know
that if I want a battery to last, I have to let it cool before giving it a
recharge. Does the same apply to laptop batteries?
Thanks,
Richard

Heat is bad for lithium ion, it accellerates the degradation due to use.
Probably a good idea, though not absolutely vital usually, unless it's >50C.
