I figure to pop it in once in a while ( maybe once a month, for a day?), but I think the battery will last longer, if not in the PC F/T ?
I always left it in F/T in my last two LT's ( on my 3rd one now). They last 2-2.5 years ( the laptops).
Once that battery gets to like 20% of charge capacity, I know the LT will soon be dieing, and it's going to need a keyboard, power cord, battery,etc.
take the trade in for $100-150, spend $350, get a new one.

BTW, I generally use shit forever. I have a 10 year old truck, see no reason it won't go 10 more years.
I've got like a 40 year old commercial freezer, better than anything you could buy today. My clothes dryer must be 25 years old.
Any new D/W, Fridge, Washing machine....is fucking dead in 2 years flat.
Gimme a freebie ( or near free) refrig, washer, etc. off of Craigslist over anything fucking new appliance.
I like a refrig that has been running for 20 years, over a new one that might run 2 weeks, if you're lucky.
