I know its not a computer HW question but it is hardware
Anyway, I have a Mintek MDP-1750 7" portable DVD player that, contrary to its really horrible reviews, I never had a problem with it. I have had it for 1 1/2 year and never had a problem with it. I use it everyday for a few hours and it is always plugged in. I recently took it out with the battery and got only 10 mins of life out of it. It fully charges (light goes out) but only lasts 10 minutes or so. What is the average lifespan on a LiIon battery? I thought it would be longer than 1 and a half years, especially if I barely use it in battery mode. the battery is always connected tho. Could that kill it faster if I use the unit on AC power and still have the battery connected?
