how about google
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
o keep batteries cool (pull them out when the laptop is
plugged into the mains)
o don't full charge
o charge slowly
Prius batteries are normally charged to about half full.
Satellite batteries are nursed carefully. They aren't
allowed to be fully charged.
