auskingdom:
I removed my battery from my laptop and leave it connected to the power point. My laptop is 6gb of ram i7 processor and it's quite good for my standards. If i leave it on for 24/7 or for a long period of time, will it affect the laptop in anyway? Like stuff up the hardware? Also, it doesn't overheat - but i think it's because it's winter in Australia.

i dont think there's anything wrong with that, i never turn my laptop off unless i need to for updated and crap. i like to seed back to bbt as much as i can. only thing is, i do suggest putting the battery back in. sometimes the power goes out during a storm where i live.... and sometime for no f-ing reason at all other than to piss me off, anyway, i like to turn off my laptop properly. i have mine set to safely shut down after one hour of running on only the battery.

I disagree with putting the battery back in, unless blackouts are hella frequent in your area (like it is in donald1's case). Leaving the battery in the laptop all the time, when you plug in the laptop all the time, wears down the battery because you keep it charged up.

bloody000:
store it in the fridge(not freezer). I'm serious. Li-ion batteries degrades faster at high temperature, the base of your laptop is always warm, sometimes hot. Li-ion batteries degrades faster when it's fully charged, so discharge it to around 45% before putting it in the fridge. Li-ion batteries also degrades whether you use it or not.

Freedom Kira:
That too. Also make sure you seal it in a plastic Ziploc bag to keep moisture from getting at it. I keep my battery in a Ziploc freezer bag in a side storage area in the fridge door.
