What does the term "unhealthy" battery mean? My battery holds a full charge, however, I was told I have a "unhealthy" battery.

If you have no problems with it and it is holding charge then the only thing I could think they (whom ever said this) meant is that it isn't in the condition that a newer battery is in. . . Just curious..who told you this?

as bluelightnin6 said, the only time i have heard the term "unhealthy" used for a battery .. when it is not holding a charge as good as a new one ... all battery's will deteriorate over time .. if your not havin a problem .. don't fix it ??
