    ok so i was wondering, how can u maximise the life of ur laptop battery, like how many months/years it is able to store the maximum amount of charge.

    is it better to charge discharge, i guess its not..
    but any ways, ive heard u should try to keep the battery at about 40% charge..

    or is it better to constantly keep the laptop plugged in, in which case it stops charging the battery when its 100% charged (i think so atleast) and then runs directly from the power source. but the problem here is that sometimes it gets plugged out for like 5 minutes and the battery falls too like 94%, and now when its plugged in again it charges to 100% again, which takes quite a lot of time and im sure thats not healthy for the battery

    any ways, so any tips for makind sure u maximise battery life
