Leave the battery on the laptop when using AC power. It will stay float charged that way, always ready for use when you need to go portable, away from the AC line. Lithium-ion battery technology will allow that without fear of overcharging, etc. --Mac



Dang Mac,that's what I wanted to hear,which usually makes me a little nervous. Everyone else says take it out to avoid over charging. Where can I learn more about Li-ion batteries? The help section on this hp is useless. It makes sense that the charging circuitry would be more up to date and no so dumb as to over charge. I live off grid and have lots of big batteries in another room and an inverter smart enough not to boil my electrolyte away.
