discharge robs some of the battery’s energy. Most battery manufacturers store Li-ion batteries at 15°C (59°F) and at 40 percent charge. Keeping a laptop battery on constant charge and never using it is not good for the laptop battery. Run the battery down and recharging it at least once every month.
Remove the battery & run from a power source will it lengthen battery life?

Overcharge my laptop battery, will the life span decrease?
Laptop batteries have finite life spans. Whether you use the power cord or remove the battery it will lengthen the life of the battery. Li-Ion laptop battery lifespan is approximately 1,000 charge cycles, or 2-4 years under normal operating conditions.

Keeping the battery in a cool place can prolong its life but not in a period of extended storage. The Liion battery should be stored at 40 percent rather than full-charge state. The battery ages even if not used. For best results, keep the battery cool. In addition, store the battery at a 40 percent charge level. Never fully charge or discharge the battery before storage. The 40 percent charge assures a stable condition even if self-
First it’s important to understand what overcharging is: Over-charging occurs when the charger keeps the battery at a temperature that is warm to touch (body temperature) while in ready condition.

Lengthen Battery Life: Remove the Battery & Run From a Power Source , Don’t Overcharge Li-Ion laptop batteries have built-in controller chips which prevent it from overcharging, as they can explode if overcharged. Overcharging does not affect the life span other than potentially destroying the battery. A lithium-based battery should never be allowed to get warm in a charger. If you have this happen, the battery is no good or the charger is not working properly. Don’t continue to use the battery or charger if this happens. A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours). Damage to the battery from overcharging would only occur in the very unlikely event of a malfunction of the charging system.
