FWIW, following an advice to do so, I've developed a habit of removing the battery when my notebook is sitting on my desk at home, sometimes for weeks with uninterrupted AC power supply. I believe the battery benefitted from that, but I've no statistically significant data to corroberate that, of course. The article in the German magazine c't (or was it iX? anyway...) said that the battery will periodically be re-charged when the system is permanently connected to AC power, and that these minimal re-charges caused unnecessary deterioration.
