    90% of the time my computer is hooked up to AC power, so I think removing the battery might be a good idea.

    So here are the questions:
    1- Will the 1520 run without a battery?
    2- If so, is it better to remove the battery while fully charged, while it's discharged, or when the charge reaches 50%? I'm going to guess when it's discharged since then it would be at it's equilibrium state, but I'd really appreciate confirmation.
    3- How often should I charge/discharge the battery, or does it even matter?
