Default After 6 years get a new battery. Li-I has limited lifetime/cycles.

U might also try fully (well, down to the circuit's limitations...there's an internal battery circuit that stops discharge before the batt gets so low it won't recharge...characteristic of Lithium-Ion) discharging the battery and then allowing it to recalibrate.

2. Battery Calibrating - There is some benefits to fully discharging your lithium battery periodically, for laptops this can be especially important. If you start to notice your battery meter is becoming more and more inaccurate, it may be time for some battery calibration. By allowing your lithium battery to fully drain, this will help the battery recalibrate allowing for more accurate measurements of battery life. This should be done once every 30 charges or when you notice battery readings are off.

I took a huge gulp that it wouldn't be any good when they were bought out, no trouble though.
