After a couple year's use you should completely discharge and recharge it once a month.
Don't keep the charger plugged in all the time but use battery power and charge it when it's low. |

Keeping a laptop battery plugged in does not harm it at all.

Sorry, disregard what I said earlier. I had read by constantly keeping the charge going in will cause the battery to develop a memory and will shorten its life. With the newer Li-Ion batteries that is not relevant.
Here's some suggestions. http://www.pcworld.com/article/25237...tery_life.html |

It's best to not discharge below about 20% remaining capacity (about 3.6V per cell), if you can help it. Never fully discharge (unless you intend to dispose of the cells). Also, avoid charging more than you need to and avoid storing them fully charged (not as big of an issue, but it does help). Charged to about 50% capacity is best for longer term storage (check for parasitic drains and self-discharge if stored for a really long time so that the cells don't get too low). This is in regards to the actual voltage and capacity of the cells, not necessarily what your battery meter claims. (I can provided a lot of sources to back up this information, if need be).
Li-ion cells have different characteristics than NiCd and NiMH cells. For example, NiCd cells can be fully discharged and even stored shorted after they're discharged, though it should be avoided when they're in series to prevent the risk of reverse charging some of the cells. This will go a long way to help keep your Li-ion cells lasting for as long as they reasonably can. |
