Batteries dying after a long period of time not being used is normal. When you drive your car around the alternator charges the battery. But if its just sitting for a long period of time without anyone letting the engine run then just the electronics will kill the battery.

Sign of problems with a car battery?

If the engine cranks slowly or makes no noise when you try to start it. If you jump the battery and it starts but won't start again immediately afterwards. If smoke comes from the terminal connections, do not keep trying to start your car, this most-likely is because your battery cells are fusing. If the water under the caps on the battery is low, you will also have problems starting the car, they may need to be brought up to about a half-inch below the top.

If the battery is out of the car for more than 6 hours the computer will get rest. If you are removing the old battery and replacing it with a new one immediately you should not have any problems. You also could buy an adapter that plugs into your cigarette lighter which uses a 9V battery to maintain the power to the computer while the main battery is removed. You could buy these adapters at your local auto stores.

There are a few anecdotal accounts, but I could find no evidence of systematic problems with the Everex StepNote battery.

More over the battery is drained while the laptop is closed wich "having a battery with 0% power" can shorten its life smal.
