Hi all,

Just got a new laptop but just wondering whats the best way to manage the laptop battery? Some say its best to let the battery drain completley before charging then make sure to charge it back to 100% again, others say its not good to let it drain all the way.

So basically, what do you think? Is it ok to charge the laptop when its at 25% and back to 80ish, or whenever I charge it should I make sure it gets to 100% everytime?

just once a week let it drain and then back 100%. but if you never use it, ie like it's on a desk all the time and once in a blue moon you take it with you, then just take it out and put a cheep one in the you get on ebay.
