    usually what i do is i take the battery out while im at home and keep my laptop plugged in with my power adapter. Therefore my battery receives on harm and i just put my batterry back in when i need to take my laptop out

    never use it ever and leave it in the fridge like i do. then when guests come over they will think you're a weirdo with batteries in the fridge.

    I bring it to school, a lot so most of the time I leave my battery lying some where, so I can grab it.
