    I have replaced my older notebook with a newer model, but want to keep my old one as a spare.. I was wondering whats the best thing to do to help try and keep the battery in the notebook ok?

    Should I:

    1) Keep the notebook in stand-by. (The notebook will be connected the the mains that my main comp is on, so will be off at night and on during the day, this will allow the battery to go up and down in charge)

    or

    2) Leave the notebook powered off completely.

    Which will be the best solution here?

    Thanks

    :)
