There are lots of ideas about how to use a battery in the wright way.. I really want to learn the truth! Should i plug my Notebook to AC when i work with it anytime ? or should i use the battery some time? what is the exact relation between the AC Power and the battery? Is it usual for the adaptor become hot compared with oher brands?

Please see your other post. It's a good idea to avoid posting your question in multiple parts of the forum as it can get confusing when people start replying to both posts.

Apart from "common Sense" suggestions contained in any battery "Guide". you can be safe in the knowledge that whether you use it or not it will degrade over time.

I tend to use my laptop on AC whenever possible and only use the battery when no socket is available.

Even so 18 months later my battery has lost 18% of its original charge capacity.

ive heard from somewhere, when storing your laptop, store it with the battery at around 40% power, something to do with the cells inside the battery. It also says using the battery is better than not using it at all. ALSO STORE IT AT ROOM TEMP.
