HOW TO MAKE BATTERYS LIFE LONGER : summarize: - If you are running on AC, make sure the battery is not

connected, unless you have to charge. This will prevent unnecessary heat passing through the battery. - Charge frequently instead of waiting for the battery to drain completely before charging again. Lithium-based batteries do not have memory, so you won't have to worry about lost battery life. However, do *not* charge if the battery is still above 90%, as this will cause lost max battery life. Waiting to charge after a complete discharge from full puts stress on the battery. - Calibrate the battery every 15 or so days. You can do this by doing a complete, deliberate discharge from full. It will ensure the battery's operating at full capacity and giving the longest life. Hope this helps.
