There's been a lot about batteries on this list so if you can access the archives you'll find a wealth of information. But to summarize it, at least once a week (once a month at the very least) unplug the AC and use the battery until you get the warning message that the computer is about to

Great, now I have directly conflicting advice. It IS a li-ion, so I shouldn't let it discharge??? I should just keep them plugged in all the time unless taking it somewhere? Or let it work on battery once a month and recharge? Where is the certain point? I did go to the archive but there is so
