It’s hard to ponder, but your already limited UMPC battery capacity might be much less than it is today in one short year. While Ultranauts would never over-sensationalize a story (much less a headline!), did you know that the most important piece of hardware on your UMPC, the battery, is dying a slow death as you use it in conjunction with an AC Adaptor?

Neither did we, but according to “the experts,” the li-ion cells within the battery enclosure are depleted at such a fast rate that in one year its capacity will shrink by up to 50%! For exact figures and much more interesting info on your beloved li-ion batteries visit this li-ion wiki super-page.

Can any UMPC users comment on their battery’s capacity today versus its capacity on day 1?

[Thanks Alan]
