Battery life...

I know this has probably been asked before. I searched and didn;t find any straight up answers.

How do you properly maintain your MacBooks battery? How often should you run it down and charge it up? How often should you just leave it plugged in? Thanks!

Calibrate your battery http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490

I calibrate my battery once a month. Of course, I don't usually take it off my desk. But when I do, I try to get out all the juice and charge it back up to make sure I won't have to get a replacement anytime soon. If you use it off your desk more, then you are probably already calibrating it somewhat.
Hope this helps!
