    Finally I bought my Asus A6jc.
    For the last days I've been using it plugged to AC, but I've heard that I should use it on battery sometimes, because if not the battery would loose some capacity... is this true??

    Thanks!

    If you plan on having it plugged for at least 2 weeks straight then its recommended to take out the battery and keep it at 40% capacity.

    Good tip NumLock. For what it's worth... www.batteryuniversity.com has some good little tidbits in there you may find interesting also.
