Raghavan,

As I understand, Li-ion batteries can last for a fixed number of
recharge cycles. However, it you deplete the battery to only 60% or
so, it "doesn't count" as a recharge cycle (I don't know about this in
any more detail).

So for optimum battery life you should either run it on AC power for
most of the time and keep the laptop cool (as Joy suggested), or
deplete it to 60% and charge again.

P.S: I used to obsess over battery life for a while, but then got fed
up with worrying about all the factors and just stopped caring. Li-ion
batteries have a limited life, and *will* deplete no matter what you
do. I just resigned myself to it :)
