Sorry if this has been covered already, but it *is* very much possible to
run the battery down after one year, especially if you've been using your
laptop with the battery left on and the AC plug constantly plugged into the
electricity and the laptop, in other words, in a perpetual state of
re-charging.
While laptop manufacturers claim this isn't supposed to shorten the life of
the laptop's battery, it does.
If you feel your laptop is going to be plugged in for a while, take out the
battery and just run it off of the AC adapter. The only issue you should
have with this is that should you lose power in the house, your battery
won't have your back, but then you should be saving your work in any case
every so often.
Having said that, one of the first steps in getting a new laptop is to power
it up and cycle it completely down, that is, run it off the battery until
you get the Windows message that only 2% of battery is remaining on the
charge, then charge it back up, then cycle it down again. Do this for the
first five or ten charges, and this will, in brief, teach the battery how to
charge, for lack of a better term. Just like a guidedog, laptop batteries
have their own training, and it must be adhered to, lest your battery go to
the battery heaven in the sky. Smiles.
Again, I apologize if this has been covered. My computer was down with hard
drive problems, and I've just recently gotten my computer back up and
running.

Depending on the usage, but in my opinion for what it's worth I don't
believe so.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones
that mind don't matter.
