hmm interesting.

I had heard from time to time that you should take the battery out when using AC power, to extend the life of the battery.

This seems to go against that:

The question is often asked: Should I disconnect my laptop from the power grid when not in use? Under normal circumstances this should not be necessary because once the lithium-ion battery is full, a correctly functioning charger will discontinue the charge and will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most users do not remove the AC power, and I like to believe that this practice is safe
I'll have to contact Toshiba and see what they 'guarantee'.
