The only confusion i have about the entire 700m is how to charge it or recommend how to charge it correctly. No instruction or info came with the laptop on it.

Should i always leave the battery in?
When im at home should i leave the battery in and use the ac adapter?
When im at home should i use the ac adapter only and take batt out?
Should i turn of the notebook and charge the battery?
How long do you charge it for.

I cant find any info on this anywhere even dells website..all help would be great!

I've owned other Dell laptop products before and they all used Li-Ion batteries. My experience is to leave the battery in with or without the AC plugged in. These batteries are now 3-6 year old. Lithium-Ion battery in the 700m couldn't be any different. I just got the 700m myself.
