battery best practices

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I got a new battery for my aging laptop :). This got me thinking; 
given that almost every day I use the laptop on batteries what would be 
better for the long-term life of the battery:

- Fully discharge it before plugging it back in (one or twice a day)
- Plug it in as soon as I can.

   The first option will prevent memory (it's LiIon), but the second 
option doesn't draw on the battery as much.

Thanks!

Madison
