If it has a lithium battery, make sure inachezea between 10% - 95%. Use it like the way you use your phone na battery itakaa maisha marefu (personal experience).

Keep it plugged. The trick is to reduce the number of charge-discharge cycle. But also its important to avoid overheating the laptop. Battery itaisha haraka.

Lenovo Iko na option ya ku set battery charge to start only when it’s under 40% and max charge to be 95%. It can run on AC throughout. Feature safi sana.

Modern laptops have smart charge control. Ikijaaa inajidisconnect ata charger ikiwa plugged in. The trick is to buy a business laptop. They last five times longer and have huge protections on place

Toshiba or all modern laptops have the option to cap the charging at 80%, so it’s safe.
Unplug when battery charges to 80%, recharge when it drops to 30%. Keeping the laptop plugged in all the time kills the battery.
Its recommended you keep it in the socket. A laptop battery has 300 cycles. One cycle is lost once the battery reaches 0%.
