    I have a standard 6 cell battery that I got with my dv2699. What I would like to know is what should I do to prolong the battery life. I had heard somewhere that it is good for the battery if you use it up to an extent such that it isn't dead nor highly charged and then chrage it up to prolong the life. Is this true? Or is keeping it connected to power supply the right way out?
