Laptop Battery Storage

[goneleft]

I use my laptop mainly at my desk and maybe take it to work once or twice a week. Having it static most of the time I remove the battery as to stop any damage by continious charging/heat.

My question is:
When I remove the battery is it best to keep it fully charged or completely empty of juice?

Cheers

about 75-90% charged and d/c from the laptop

Over the years I've found that if I charge a battery before storing it they tend to have a longer lifespan. I've got a battery in my old 486 laptop that will still give an hour or so of life and it's over 10 years old!
