> So now that I still work at home, I make sure to unplug my laptop once in a while just to drain it down a bit.

That's still a defect; the laptop battery management should do that for you. As an example, the Dell laptops I'm used to automatically drain the battery to ~95% when plugged in all the time (it appears to be at 100% while on AC, but when you unplug it you can see the true charge).



Yeah it took them forever but Apple laptops finally do this as well (holding the charge at 80% instead)


Macs drain to 80% when plugged in all the time.
