Never let the battery run to flat. when the laptop is plugged in it will run directly from the AC, this includes when you have used the laptop for a few hours then plugged it into the AC cord it will charge while running from AC power supply.

The best way to maintain battery life is to always keep the battery life between 30 and 80 percent. If you leave the battery plugged in, the constant charge that is given to the battery will cause the ions to be overly energized and thus lead to a more unbalanced cell state eventually. Keeping the battery low also leads to an unbalanced cell state. So the best real way to preserve battery life, without being ridiculous about it e.g. removing the battery when the laptop is not in use and storing it in a cold dry place for no longer than 3 hour intervals blah blah blah, is to maintain that battery percentage. A lot of people will say don't let it drop below 40%, but I don't really see the harm in letting it drop another 10%. Seeing how I haven't experimented much with the issue, go with 40 to 80 percent, but you don't have to be militant about it.

Let the batteries run down every once in a while for the sake of preserving optimisation.
