Thanks for the ongoing coverage, Jason. I was intrigued by this bit...

Shallow charges also impact the longevity of the battery cells, so using your laptop for 10 minutes then plugging it back in isn't the best idea because it will use up part of a charging cycle.

I've plugged and unplugged my HP TX2530EA tablet many more than 300 times from a shallow-charge perspective and haven't noticed any significant change in battery performance - it sounds like an area where there is still quite a bit of debate though as to what the real-life situation is!
Glad to see ongoing progress in this area though! Were there any discussion around the potential of hydrogen fuel batteries?
