== Unattributed Quotes ==
The page contains an abundance of unattributed quotes. While I don't think we need to go Wikipedia-style "Citation Needed" happy in the maemo.org wiki, the sheer number of unattributed quotes in this particular article feels odd. Can anyone find sources for these quotes?

> The tablets use lithium-ion batteries

They actually use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-polymer lithium polymer] batteries ([http://e-articles.info/e/a/title/Advantages-and-Limitations-of-the-Lithium-Polymer-Battery/ advantages and disadvantages]), specifically the [http://europe.nokia.com/bp-5l BP-5L] (770, N800) and [http://europe.nokia.com/A4400191 BP-4L] (N810).

:Did some quick research and its actually Lithium-ion polymer so its just a variant of Li-ion and they are so similar it is probably not worth the distinction in this article. The N900 is now using Li-Ion [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/batteries/nokia-battery-bl-5j BL-5J] --[[User:cas07|cas07]] 21:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

== category ==

should this be categorized to beginners or power users?

== Deep-Cycling ==

I've never fully understood this, and the article is making it worse:

"discharge the battery from time to time by leaving the product switched on until it turns itself off."
(which I think fits the definition of deep-cycling) vs.
"Lithium-ion batteries should never be "deep-cycled" like Ni-Cd batteries"

So, which one is true?

 So, which one is true?
-== temperature ==
-On this topic too the comments are contradictory.  One the one hand it says "Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F)." while in the extending battery life section it says "Stay cool. Li-ion batteries should be kept cool. Ideally they are stored in a refrigerator.".
-Even disregarding the fact that storing in a battery is not a practical thing to do if you actually want to use it, a refrigerator is (or should be) a lot cooler than 15°C.
-So again, which comment is correct?
