Battery care for notebooks

[blueae1405]

Does this battery care function really help save the batteries life? It has two choices I can select one is 50% and one is 80%. It said that if I will be using AC power mostly then set it to 50% and if I use the battery the most then set it to 80%. I have been using my notebook at home mostly so I use the AC power. Or is it best to just have that feature off and let it charge 100% when the computer needs to? I don't think my computer will overcharge since todays computers won't do that.

If you are running it on AC 24/7, take the battery out. It could stress out your battery.

Agreed. Though not all laptops work with the battery out, some daft engineers decide to route all power through the battery. It's rare though.
