[QUOTE="tkim, post: 755765, member: 62802"] For example: You charge your battery all the way up to 100%. You unplug the charger and run it down to 50%. You plug the charger and charge it back up to 100%, unplug it and run it down to 50% again. This is one full charge "cycle" if you will. I wouldn't recommend pulling the battery out. I believe the processor runs at half speed when you do this. Not sure if this is the case with your specific model notebook. Also, you run the risk of accidently yanking the charger out and losing all your work, don't need to tell you how much that sucks. I usually leave mine plugged in all the time and unplug it every other day and run the battery down to 50%. This will keep the "juices" flowing still. I have nearly 50 cycles on my battery and I'm still at 100% [/QUOTE]
