Do you remove the battery from laptop when using mains adapter?
Just wondering if it's better to remove the battery or keep it in the laptop. I hardly move it around the house, was think to keep it on mains only, but don't know if it's any healthier for the laptop in terms of performance/longetivity of service and also if it makes the battery worse... Thanks!
