In modern laptops, the battery will not overcharge. But its still "your choice" since the chemical battery will still degrade in about 2 years. You could slow the chemicals down by keeping the battery in a cool place, but that's about it.

I have a relatively new Acer Travelmate but use it normally at home without battery power/Plugged in an outlet. Is it better to keep the battery in or does it matter? Thanks, Dan
