i use my HP laptop at home a lot [like a desktop pc]. which is the best way to supply power to it when i am using it at home?
1. remove the battery from the laptop, plug the laptop into the power outlet at my home when i am using it, and run it on the battery only when i am outside my home. [can this avoid the battery getting heated and hence extend the health of the battery?]
2. do not remove the battery from the laptop, plug the laptop into the power outlet at my home when i am using it, and run it on the battery only when i am outside my home.
3. charge my battery to its maximum when i am not using the laptop and when i am even using the machine at home, disconnect the plug from the power outlet, and run it on battery-power.
this i ask, in the point of view of maximizing the health / life [not the charge] of the battery. i have been using method 2, and my battery is already reduced to 59% health [ie., it can hold only 59% of the maximum power it was designed to hold].
EXPERT answers with reasons are welcome.
thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
i am not so much of a geek, so pardon my ignorance.
