Dear preety
its not advisable to keep the battery charging all the time as it may damage the battery
you must calibrate the battery for higher performance i.e. fully charge and then fully discharged.

Hi, Thanks for sharing these tips. Also should the laptop be kept on power source always so that it does not drain any battery, or should I always take the power cord off when laptop is fully charged and let it drain and then put the charge back. I really dont know which would be the best way to keep the laptop battery long life. In a few months time my laptop battery is down 15 min. Its Dell 1425.

My brothers laptop faced the same problem, it hardly lasted 20 minutes on battery power.

One of the reasons, dealer told for these problems was that the laptop was used more as a desktop, left on always at charging. Thus it reduced the lasting capability.

Secondly, we used the laptop on beds and sofa, in such cases (as pointed out in point 15), the heat re-circulated without finding an escape. Thus causing the laptop to extra heat up.

Thanks for the other tips, will share them with my brother.
