Don't leave it there for long periods of time. Make sure it still has 40% battery life before you take it out and store it. It should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and then allowed to fully discharge. If you keep it plugged on an electrical outlet while using it, will reduce it's life cycle. When plugging your laptop, use a UPS.

Go ahead, Lorenzo-- contradict everyone else.
For the record, I have HP G72, DV4, DV2000 laptops and my recommendations are straight from the manufacturer. Additionally, I have seen the battery life dramatically reduced from constant charging (children just don't listen...).
