V series battery questions

Hello,

 

I have some questions about the best way to prolong the life span of the batteries since there seems to be a contradiction in the manual:

 

Page 59 states:

"In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the following usage patterns: • Using the computer on constant AC power..."

 

But page 60 states:

"Optimizing battery life...You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below: • Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for mobile use..."

 

So what should I do: use AC power whenever possible or not? I use AC power at home almost every time and while gaming.

 

Also, should I completely discharge the battery regularly (e.g. once a month)?

 

Should I disconnect the AC power when the computer is turned off or leave it connected?

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Miguel
