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.
