Hello all,
Just bought a HP DV6174EA laptop and i have got a question about its battery.
99% of the time i use this laptop at home and it will be hooked up to the mains supply. When connected to the mains i can remove the battery while the laptop keeps working.
Whats the best thing to do to keep the battery in the best state?
1) Keep laptop connected to mains and remove the battery.
2) Run laptop on battery till the battery is empty than switch over to mains. Keep on mains till the battery is fully recharged and than go back to battery. Repaet the above cyclus over and over.
3) Keep laptop connected to mains and leave the battery in its place.
(dont run on battery even when battery is fully charged)
I ask this question as i ruined
the battery of my previous laptop by running the laptop on mains power with the battery installed. But that laptop was bought in jan 2002 so there might have been a great improvement in battery's
Thanks, FT
