The new Dell laptop I bought shows in the operating manual that the battery is specified as: "3-cell "smart" lithium-ion (42 WHr)".
Also shows that the approximate battery "Life Span" is "300 discharge/charge cycles". 300 charge cycles don't seem like that many considering some users could potentially charge it almost every day so 300 cycles could be burned in a year. Andmaybe they mean full discharge and recharge cycles? They don't clarify exactly what constitutes a "discharge/charge cycle".
Would it be better to leave the laptop plugged into the wall and keep the battery at 100% charge as much as possible? Maybe that would help prolong the Life Span of the lithium-ion battery ... ??
