Remove battery when A/C is plugged in?

Is it a good practice to remove the battery when I got A/C? Would that extend the my battery's life or it doesn't really matter?

thanks.

 

That would stop it from recharging, which is good since recharge cycles wear out the battery. For Li-ion battery, it's best to store them at 40% charge. I recharge when it's necessary, other than that i leave it out. Of course, it's a big bother, sometimes i find myself in a pinch with a discharged battery and no time to recharge, need it right away. Some people wouldn't bother to take it out, for the convenience of always having it ready to go.

 

thanks for the tip, Spare Tire! i didn't know that.

Wat if my battery is already fully charged, 100% full. Now if i leave the battery in with the A/C plugged, is that going to count as a "recharge-cycle"?

 

Sorry for the late reply. The machine will trickle charge to keep the battery full, but how much of that will count as recharge cycles i don't know. I think i've heard somewhere that they don't recharge until the battery drops below a certain level, and i'm not sure how long it takes for the Li-ion to self-discharge enough for the machine to start charging it. I would suppose it doesn't really matter. But you can always pull it out if you're really paranoid about the trickle charge.
