Regarding Laptop Batteries

[fuzzz]

Hi
i have recently purchased a new acer 5930 laptop
what i would like to know is
does keeping the laptop connected to supply 24*7 shorten the life span of the battery ?
also i would like to know was/tips to prolong the battery life and kind of tips suggestion would be welcome

thanks in advance

i think not..but occasionally you have to use battery down to its last drop and then charge it

yup, i think also the same, as letting the battery drain to its last drop and then fully charging it will improve its life.. (but do this only for the 1st 15-20 recharges)
