When its life comes to an end - its time to buy a new one. All these 'suggestions' people give with regard to 'saving the battery' are 'rubbish'. !!! From new you only get around 2+yrs giving 500-700 recharge cycles and then thats it - finished. Some batterys may last a little longer but not much and some will be less. If its still under warranty - send it back for a new one.!! The above comment is not quite right - these LT batterys LI-ion type have a inbuilt cut/off chip inside of them to stop the battery 'over charging' and as the LT has a 'duel power supply' - battery or mains power - when the battery is fully charged the LT uses mains power - topping up the battery when required.

The laptop will over time discharge the battery. Remove the battery – making sure that it is charged to 40% and store it in a dry, warm place. Ensure that it is wrapped protectively and nothing will be dropped on it. The battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. Leaving a battery in storage for longer than this without using could cause the battery to fully discharge as the circuitry of the battery itself consumes power. Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.
