Sometimes doing a few full charge - full discharge cycles helps get
back som of the battery life. Real _full discharges_.

No... I have a Toshiba Dynabook with centrino, and when I bought it 3

Roughly 5 - 6 hours for "normal" usage. I don't know about the life
with VI in console mode, but that sounds quite scary... ;)
