Sleep mode is fine, that's not really an issue.I did that. One final question - at night, is it better to leave it in sleep mode, and not plugged in to power, or turn it off fully?
The main rules of thumb to make sure your battery lasts for a long time (holds a full charge for a long time) is to
- Use up most of the battery before recharging (i.e. use laptop until battery is around 10-15%, then fully charge
- Try to avoid using the laptop with A/C power plugged in for hours on end
- Once a month, use the entire battery charge up and then do a full recharge (cycle the battery)
These are general rules for giving a rechargeable battery a long life and apply to cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
