My suggestion would be to take the battery out if you don't need to use it too often, and run the machine on the mains. Obviously, the more often you use a laptop battery, the quicker it'll wear out, and they're not cheap.
But if that prospect doesn't worry you, just leave it in and run the laptop on mains power whenever possible.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Laptop Battery Care Question
I've just bought my first laptop (Toshiba) and have received mixed
messages on care of the battery (which I won't need to use very often).
A guy who earns his living troubleshooting computers told me to
routinely use my Toshiba not connected to electricity but to use it
until it beeps then connect/recharge.
However, when I researched laptop battery care on an internet tutorial,
the advice was to leave it plugged in during use.
Can someone please steer me in the right direction on this?
