Use Battery or Electricity?

mmc8mmc8 · 04-01-2006, 05:53 PM

Hi,

I have a new laptop and I am wondering what's the best way to prolong the working life of my battery. Should I always plug into electricity all the time or should I use the battery everytime (and don;t plug in) and then charge the battery after it runs out? Thanks!

From what i read on some pages, it shouldnt affect the battery life even if you charge it when its half-full (or whenever). Atleast if its a lithiumion-battery.

Isn't it a good idea to take the battery out when not using the laptop mobile, so it means the life of the battery will be longer?
