first off some specs, ive got an IBM T23 laptop computer (ok so technicaly its lenovo) 6-cell Lithium Ion battery manufactured by Sanyo. for the past hour my battery gauge has been showing 1% ive recently been on a re-conditioning rampage (3 times this month). because the battery that was designed to have a full charge capacity of 38.88 watt hours is now peaking at 12.3 Wh. would this mean by battery is mis-calibrated? if so how the hell do i get this thing to calibrate???

EDIT: this is not the original battery, BUT it is a direct factory replacement

also I have intentionaly turned off my Power management settings to reach a near full dischage...
the reasoning behind this question is because ive never in my right mind wanted or heard of fully discharging a lithium ion battery because of the negative effects it can have on the battery's performance but i was told by lenovo that it will help my battery immensely to FULLY discharge my lithium ion

Hi. Have you tried this method? http://www.rm.com/Support/TechnicalArticle.asp?cref=TEC49012
Good luck. (And I never heard of fully discharging a lithium ion cell either.)
