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?
