Laptop Battery Question

Lexie · 2006-08-31 11:42:56

Just a quick Question: When I use my laptop I always have it plugged in. Is it better to take out the battery, as i never use it without plugging it in? I know it can be handy if the electricity goes while working. What do ye think?

By taking out the battery while on main power, you will prolong the life of your battery.

It should help to extend the battery life a little because the battery only has a certain number of cycles before it'll begin to fade and will require charging constantly.
