Memory Effect
First of all it's necessary to unfold a myth that persists in many peoples head.
The battery memory effect.
In lithium-based batteries this is in fact a myth, it only applies to older Nickle-based batteries. So fully discharging and charging the battery is completely useless and even harmful as we will see below.
The modern lithium battery can be charged regardless of itscurrent percentage, given that it has absolutely no negative effect in its performance.
Should I remove the battery when A/C is plugged in?
Many laptop users have this question and we will answer it right now: 
The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.
Having a battery fully charged and the laptop plugged in is not harmful, because as soon as the charge level reaches 100% the batterystops receiving charging energy and this energy is bypassed directly to the power supply system of the laptop.
However there's a disadvantage in keeping the battery in its socket when the laptop is plugged in, but only if it's currently suffering from excessive heating caused by the laptop hardware.
So:
- In a normal usage, if the laptop doesn't get too hot (CPU and Hard Disk around 40ºC to50ºC) the battery should remain in the laptop socket;
- In an intensive usage which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. Games, temperatures above 60ºC) the battery should be removed from the socket in order to prevent unwanted heating.
The heat, among the fact that it has 100% of charge, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so. 
Batterydischarges
Full battery discharges (until laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because this stresses the battery a lot and can even damage it. It's recommended to perform partial discharges to capacity levels of 20~30% and frequent charges, instead of performing a full discharging followed by a full charging.
Laptop batteries contain a capacity gauge that allows us to know the exact amount ofenergy stored. However, due to the charging/discharging cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.
Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate this battery gauge, which is nothing more than a full discharge followed by a full charge.
So to calibrate the gauge, it should be performed, in every 30 discharge cycles, a full discharge non-stop , followed by a also, non-stop, fullcharge.
An inaccurate gauge can lead to the fact that the the battery capacity values are are wrong. The battery may report that it still has 10% of capacity when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to shutdown unexpectedly.
Discharge (or charge) cycles consist of using all that battery charge (100%) but not necessarily all at once.
For example, you can use thelaptop for some minutes in a day, using half its capacity e then fully charge it. If you did the same thing in the next day, it would be counted a discharge cycle and not two, so it may take several days until a full discharge cycle is completed.
How to perform a calibration (full discharge)?
The most adequate method to do a full discharge (100% to a minimum of 3%) consists of the followingprocedure:
1. Fully charge the battery to its maximum capacity (100%);
2. Let the battery "rest" fully charged for 2 hours or more in order to cool down from the charging process. You may use the computer normally within this period;
3. Unplug the power cord and set the computer to hibernate automatically at the minimum percentage possible as described by the image sequence below (click imagesto enlarge);

1. Leave the computer discharging, non-stop, until it hibernates itself. You may use the computer normally within this period;
2. When the computer shuts down completely, let it stay in the hibernation state for 5 hours or even more;
3. Plug the computer to the A/C power to perform a full charge non-stop until its maximum capacity (100%). You may use the computer...
