    Hi guys.
    I have a fz-180e and I am right now using it mostly at home for internet.
    So its almost always connected to power!
    I was wondering what is the best way to preserve the battery life?
    Right now I have the battery on my laptop and every now and then I remove the electric cable and let it use battery till discharge and then recharge again!
    But should I remove the battery?
    Should I emty battery to 0% and then remove?
    Can someone tell me what is the best way to make this battery last longest?

    If you don't plan on using the battery, keep it at 40% charge and store in a plastic bag in a cool place such as the corner of your fridge. This will preserve your battery the longest. Don't freeze it however, and when it comes time to use it again let the battery warm back up to room temperature first.
