I have a new Aspire E5-576G laptop. I use it every day 4-6 hours, all on battery. I am amazed at the battery life.
Ok, so at the end of the day, I plug it in overnight.
Some nights the battery is still at say 70% when I plug it in.
Am I better off letting it discharge for another day, say to 25% before plugging it in?
In other words, is there an optimum charging strategy to maximize/preserve battery life?

    No. This is not your grandfather's rechargeable NiCad. Don't worry about how you use it. Except when the 10% charge whistle blows, then it's time to plug it back in. This battery is common to many different laptop models and replacements are less than $30 with free shipping should you ever need a new one. Jack E/NJ
