Someone mentioned that the L-I battery should be drained completely if used at all since any charge cycle is one less from the total number of charge cycles possible for that battery. If true, then I've been wasting them. I play Scrabble with a partner. When I pass the laptop to the other player, I unplug the AC. When I get it back 5 minutes later, I plug it in again during my turn, so as to restore full charge for off-leash work after the games are finished. Is this a bad habit?
No, it's not. The other poster was mis-informed. No battery behaves like that.
