Using laptop without battery

[Holly_Hobby]

11. I do charge the battery once a month,

to be sure it will work in a power outage. I've been doing it that way for 8 years. It's around 3/4 charged when I plug it in after sitting for a month. It fully charges after a half an hour or so.

I got tired of using my batteries, only to have them die in a year and a half or so. So when I bought this laptop, I decided just to keep it plugged into the wall and save the battery for when I need it.

But then my brother in law read me the riot act yesterday when he found out I was doing it. He's the know it all type that really doesn't. Thanks
