How to use the laptop battery?

what is the best/most efficient way to preserve or extend life of the laptop battery?
Right now, my laptop is basically a desktop replacement - I never use it mobile, so is it best to always use AC power, or does constantly using AC power have some effect on battery life?
any tips? thanks!

Re: How to use the laptop battery?

One of most comprehensive resources about batteries I have read is Battery University. As a laptop user, you'd be probably interested in Do and don't battery table and How to charge - when to charge table. Look at Li-Ion column, it applies to Li-Po as well.

In short: charge often, do not let to fully discharge, store 40% charged in cool place.
