Saw another post on this subject on another forum, that made me think as I'm in the same boat:
I keep my laptop mostly plugged in, so the battery doesn't get used. So to keep the battery viable (not charged as such, just working so that I can charge it up beforehand if I'm going to take the laptop away with me) am I better taking the battery out (I imagine so), or leaving it in the laptop all the time? I've heard things like you're best having the battery with 33% of it's charge, then storing it in the freezer (!), as somehow that does the most to keep the battery viable, but I've no idea what's true and what's not.
What is the best thing I can do with the battery, to prolong it's lifetime even though I'd rarely have to use it, since the laptop is kept plugged in most of the time and rarely leaves the house?
