DON'T remove the battery! For best results using and maintaining your battery, follow Apple's advice here.

The best way to keep your MacBook battery in the best condition is to just use it. I remember I didn't calibrate it for a month and my dumbassed friend nearly killed me over it. I think, just use it, and forget the calibration nonsense. Sure it can keep the battery healthy, but you spend time (which is irreplaceable). I'd rather buy a new battery after awhile than waste an hour or so every month.

Removing the battery will also drop the speed of the CPU. Even when plugged in, it expects a battery to be installed.

Just plug your charger in, with the battery plugged in, and then forget about it. Every once in a while, unplug it and use it till it dies, then just plug it back in again.

Use it. That's the best way not to spoil your battery. Who cares if it dies a few days earlier than its ETA of death?

No. Keeping a rechargeable battery plugged in all the time reduces the battery life.

errrr :S

so what's ur recommendation??

Keep it plugged in most of the time.
Unplug it once in a while and use it, letting the battery do some work.
It's as simple as that.
Laptops are made to be portable, obviously. You don't need to have them plugged in all the time, and if you never use the battery, it will lose power.

Just use your computer.

if you're happy with removing and attaching youre battery every time you leave home then that might help, just don't misplace it..
