I recently bought an upper-end new laptop (Asus G73) which has a Lithium-Ion battery.
The guy in the computer shop said that I should fully charge the battery from new and then, if I was mainly going be to running the laptop on mains power (which I am), I should switch to battery, run the battery down, charge it back up to 80% then remove the battery and store it separately, i.e. not in the laptop.
Is this correct and good advice?
