proper plug in and battery care

[ayush55]

hi, I  just got my first laptop and do not know how exactly to charge it like what time I should charge it for,

or should I always keep it plugged in? will that pose a damage to battery?

I somewhat have to use my laptop for 12 to 14 hours a day running it solely on battery is a task next to impossible for me. 

and also before recharging the battery do I have to completely discharge it before plugging in?

basically the question is what would be the best way for plugging in to ensure proper battery life and capacity 

THANKS
