technically, your suppose to drain completely once a month, otherwise li dont hold any memory
Li-ion battery? how does it work?
I'm sure this is answered somewhere, or somewhere before like 1000 times,
but please let this be 1001 more time and no more

So my laptop uses a Li-ion battery pack, and im guessing majority of everyone's laptop uses Li-ion? Iono,
But how do you cherish the battery life? Is it best to use it until the battery drains to 0%, then charge to 100% then unplug right when its done charging? Leaving it 100% charged and in the charger will mess up the battery life right?
Does anyone know?

It is best to charge it up then let it run down completely down to 0% (won't even boot) once a month or so. This will reduce the "memory effect" it has on the battery. If you aren't going to move your laptop from the charger for an extended time just remove the battery. This prevents overcharging. Hope I helped

Li-ion batteries have no memory and will be rendered into a paperweight if discharged to zero. Also, a laptop will not overcharge the battery.
Heat is a killer of lithium ion cells. Store them with about 60-80% charge at room temperature.

Li-Ion batteries won't be rendered into a paperweight if drained. They will, however, be prone to burst into flames or blow up in your face if they are drained completely (or so several internet sources tell us).

Lithium ion batteries have a threshold voltage that if discharged below, the cell will not take another charge. Although, your laptop will show a dead battery before you hit this voltage.

It's possible if there isn't some regulator chip on the charging device and no real overvoltage or overload protection. When you see a battery start smoking or make a sizzling sound, get far away from it.

Okay.
