I was reading HP Forum answer to : "Should I keep laptop plugged in all the time even when it's fully charged?" at below link;

Solved: Should I keep laptop plugged in all the time even when it's ... - HP Support Community - 693...

But The answer was confusing because he wrote it may save repeated "battery charging cycles" Which means It has benefits of keeping plugged in. Then the technical guy wrote; "it might eventually wear down a battery a little more quickly." Which means there is no benefit of keeping laptop plugged in. 

Now it is confusing. Please clear doubt whether it is beneficial or harmful I thought it was better to keep battery plugged in for 4 days in a week & on battery power for remaining days. What should be done ? 

Warmest regards

Prasan

since you do not mention your HP model, it is hard to answer your question in the vacuum... read this advisory ( https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06179452 ) and set the 'Battery Health Manager' setting accordingly - if your system meets the requirements and the BIOS is up to date

HP 15s Core i5 10th Gen  is the model. Now please answer the above Question. 

Sir your link has long & complicated answer. I am not a technical person. Please help.

Yours is a consumer class notebook. I suggest you post your question on the appropriate Forum. This forum engages users with business/commercial class devices and the BIOS and applications tend to be different enough that an answer to your need requires the right resources
