Yeah its grand. Though I hear to properly take care of your battery, once its charged, either use the battery, or take it out and use the mains power supply.

To be honest with the length of time a laptop will last you, leaving your battery in while on mains power isnt going to do it much harm. Id prefer to not have the hassle of taking out my battery constantly and wearing it down ever so slightly and replace it when needed, then to be worrying about all this

I have one of those bulky 12-cells that tilts the back of the laptop. I find it a better typing angle, plus ventilation is better from it. So I just leave it in.
