Hello All!

A coworker and I were discussing computers today when he told me of a problem with his notebook: the battery won't hold a consistent charge. He also claimed that there is a command that can be run from the operating system to discharge the battery, which should be done occasionally to prevent his problem. I have never heard of such a command, but I'm not doubting that it's there. He asked me if I knew what it was, but I was unable to tell him.

Does this command exist? If so, does anyone know what it is?

He has a gateway notebook running windows 2000 or XP, as he wasn't sure.

Thanks in advance if anyone can answer this question!
