How to use battery and power adapter for better battery life. Shall I keep laptop connected to ac power adapter after the battery is full to 100% or shall I remove the power adapter if battery is 100%. Please suggest better option for battery life.
Thanks in advance.

You can leave the computer connected to AC power without harming the battery.
Leaving the battery connected to AC power reduces the number of charge cycles which can perhaps increase the life of the battery.
