A very good question, and one debated across the internet on many forums and sites
I have a laptop and my battery is stored in the fridge (lol, read it on some SITE or other, supposed to extend the life)
Hopefully the battery will then last longer, but if you have a power cut your built in UPS (battery) isn't there - happened to me the other day just after I took my battery out, I was like .... *censored* ... what are the CHANCES?
So anyway, it's a question that may not have an ANSWER, but more people seem to say take it out than say don't take it outI wrote an article on this subject which you may find illuminating: >Tips for improving lithium-ion notebook battery life<.That is in fact the article I was referring to, I apologize for not giving credit where credit is due but I read a lot of stuff on the internet, it's hard to keep TRACK of who wrote what
Great article by the way
PS I know it doesn't say keep it in the fridge, I must've read that somewhere elseThe "keep it in the fridge" thing is a myth. Lithium ion perfers to be kept cool, but room temperature will do fine, and below that there are no appreciable benefits.

Thanks for the compliment by the way. I was going to say that I knew Rob before he was an author, but I guess I can't.Still can't blinkin' spell "prefers" THOUGH, can I.
