The best way to use a laptop battery and charger?

I bought a new laptop recently and I a question about the battery from a charger. I leave my laptop on all the time or hibernation. When the battery is fully charged but I still want to leave my computer on, do I leave it plugged in or using the battery? If I use the battery all day I 'm rotating drum and loading and it happens to be a hassle.

Simplest answer: Leave it connected when you can, if used or not. This way, you have enough battery capacity available for those times when you can not plug in.
