I am using a HP notebook with a non-removable Li-ion battery. I doubt that keeping my laptop plugged in always while working will reduce it's charge cycle and degrade it's battery so, I did a brief online research and found that some websites told that it's fine while some told it generally degrades your battery and reduces it's life but, it varies from manufacture to manufacture so, is it okay to keep my HP notebook always plugged in or will it degrade the battery.

Hi:

 

With today's notebooks that have smart batteries and smart chargers, it is generally OK to leave the notebook plugged in all the time.

 

Once a month, I disconnect my notebook from the charger and run it off the battery until I get the low battery warning and then charge it up again.

 

Here is a link to HP's battery care practices info...
