I'm wondering if we can fool it by letting the battery be charged at the level of 10 % and stop charging at 90 % only, thus make it cannot reach 100% for creating another cycle and the battey still have more remaining cycles ?! Is it right ? However I'm not sure about my idea, any expert know exactly about the cycle of charge on Lion battery, please give me an advice !

I have been searching for the proper usage of the batteries, but most of the other places I have checked say that's its okay to keep the laptop plugged in with the battery intact. I do find it specious, as I am myself a student of electronics engineering and do know a little bit about the charging-discharging cycles of the battery. It is pretty simple that right in the end of the 99-100% range, the battery might be going through the charging-discharging cycle repeatedly, but I want to have some concrete proof about it. Isn't there any website, where they discuss about such topics from a more technical view? Hi Hemal,
