        Not really, Sean.  There is a "Deep Discharge" mode on your Battery
Life indicator software (DOS or Windows--and of course OS/2 also).  The
only caveat is that you have to be plugged into AC for it to work
(strangely enough--the idea is that after it discharges all the way it
automatically kicks into Charging the battery back up again).
