I know laptops that I have had always have benefited from using the battery and running it down all the way about once a week. Compaq even suggested that the battery be removed from the unit if it was going to be plugged in all the time. I have seen too many people that never used their batteries or rather only very rarely used them, and when they went to use them they were capable of running the laptop only a few minutes before shutting off.
Good luck with the new laptop.
