Notebook computers today use Lithium-ion batteries and typically have a lifespan of 350 to 550 charge cycles. After the first 12 or so months or 350 cycles, a Lithium-ion battery holds only about 80 percent of its original capacity. There are ways to extend the battery’s life, which reduces the need to buy additional batteries, which can save you money.
