I have been through 3 batteries in one laptop. I have been told that one shouldn't use it on mains with the battery in. Also to run the battery right down before charging it back up again and then do it right up to full in one charge. I am doing this with a new laptop but it is too early to tell if it is beneficial. Any comments on this?

Edit: It is OK apparently to use it on mains with battery in when it is charging but when fully charged should be taken out.
