Default Advice on maximising lifetime (charge cycles) of laptop battery

Is there anything I should be doing differently so the battery won't
die after a couple of years?


My phone came with a turbo charger that will fully charge my depleted
battery in an hour or so. I've often wondered the same thing. Should I
use a standard charger to save on battery life because it seemed to me
the fast charge would add extra stress to the battery? I settled on
using the standard charger overnight and the turbo charger when I needed
the quick charge. Then I read that overnight charging is bad. So I tried
wireless charging but then the phone became very hot so that seemed bad
also. Can't win.

Bottom line: I said screw it and just used whatever was convenient. The
battery is now 2 years old and I notice no difference from when it was
new... :-/
