That's acceptable loss and about what I get. As for whether you should charge it again or discharge it first--hey, only you can tell. Personally, I have no problem re-charging after a partial discharge. It doesn't bother me at all. Nevertheless, you do need to "condition" it once in a while (run it through a full charge/discharge cycle) in order to maintain battery life. That doesn't mean you have to do it constantly, just every so often. I'd say every 2 to 4 weeks do a full cycle. Other than that, don't worry about it. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@scf.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48 & 100LX user, and...*Proud* to be Conservative!
