Laz has posted a link on this list at least twice about preserving battery life and it would be good if he would do so again. It was an article about extending the life of cell phone batteries, but since the Stream uses the same kind of battery then presumably it applies to the Stream too. The article contained some explanation of this, but the gist of it was that you should avoid letting the battery run down entirely and avoid letting it charge to 100 percent. Doing either now and then by accident won't noticeably hurt it, but you should not make a habit of it. I seem to recall that the article said that ideally you should start charging at 90 percent and stop at 99 percent, but that would be rather impractical. It's just too hard a target to shoot for. Personally, after reading the article the first time I got into the habit of checking the battery charge now and then and if it is below 90 percent I start charging. When it is anywhere above 90 percent I stop charging.<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>___<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Stephen Fry “You can't just say there is a god because the world is beautiful.
