            While doing some responses for the discussions here in mylot, my laptop suddenly went out.  Oh my God my battery was drained.  I haven't checked my batteries earlier.  I read that becoming drained will ruin whatever devices we are using.  But I guess, a few won't hurt.
After this, I will do my walking. Have a nice day ahead guys.

                    It can do damage to a battery if you make a frequent habit of it. However, it's good to allow batteries to drain completely sometimes, too.

                            @pahak627 Yep. It's perfectly okay. Some batteries recommend you drain them completely.

                            @kaylachan  I was just a  bit worried since my laptop is not really new.  I acquired it over than two (2) years ago.

                    I wish I knew more about batteries, but I know these modern ones are far different than in the 80s, 90s, when batteries were more touchy as to charging

                            @pahak627 I know back in the 80s when rechargable batteries were new - it was said that it was good to drain them completely before charging.  Now I've read that some of these new batteries like a charge around 40 percent or so.  I'm confused....
