This seems to imply that the more you use your GS, the longer your battery
should last. This is not what I have experienced.
I use my GS a LOT, and am on my 3rd battery, and I know another guy who is
also on his 3rd. He also managed to get a motherboard swap with the first
of his replacements at no extra cost - not bad.
