    Hello, i just got my 700m last week.
    I heard that the way to keep the battery much longer life time is not to used it. I mean only use the battery when i'm outside the house.
    If I use it in my house, i must unplug the battery and use only electricity cable, is that true?
    Is that have same side effect if I plug and unplug all the time?

    No, it doesn't matter that much at all. If you are fanatic about this. Download this program, it can tell you the wear level of your battery .
