Heat kills batteries. Recharging creates heat.

I started taking the battery out of the dell when it stayed permantly connected wired and permantly afixed to docking station as desktop replacement when I heard of batter's blowing up....never actually seen this happen with any battery cept' once with a car battery.

"Theories" abound on notebook battery life, but the reality is that you will get from 1 to 4 years of decent run time, with the average closer to two to three years, and regardless of what you do, the overall life span of the battery probably will not change much.

Maybe I am "lucky", but I usually get a good 3+ years out of a notebook battery, pretty much regardless of any battery-preservation measures...so I no longer bother. I do just as well leaving the battery plugged in, and I run on AC the vast majority of the time.

The manufacturers tend to lean towards having you remove your battery when on AC, but frankly, I have seen no discernable improvement on battery life by doing so.

Keep in mind if the power goes out your battery should kick in and if the AC is out long enough to drain the battery depending on your Power Options the notebook should enter hibernation or sleep mode.
After AC is restored of course the battery should start recharging.
