HP to Offer Three-Year, No-Degrade Notebook Batteries

No matter what anyone tells you, the performance of such batteries drops over time. On Wednesday Hewlett-Packard and Boston-Power announced an upcoming option for HP laptops: a battery designed to last for at least three years without performance degradation.
