Because of self discharge, if You don't use a battery some period. What type is it? Could be some malfunction with battery, memory effect if is NiCd?!:rolleyes:

You should Calabrate it every2-3 months. If you don't use it a lot, then you should discharge it and then take it out of the laptop. If you take it out, make sure you charge it after 2-3 months and then discharge it.
