laptop battery / AC question

[Valiant]

This is a tricky question... I tell most customers if they are going to leave it plugged into the AC then to not even leave the battery in it.. It is more of a damned if you do, damned if you dont type of thing...

The battery could die because it never was charged.. or it could die because of the undercharges... Laptop batteries are finicky... My best answer is get a battery replacement plan incase something goes wrong because them bastards usually cost 100+ dollars..

Not much help, but the only other thing is go to Gateway and ask them what they prefer you to do...
