A friend of mine said to keep the battery detached when not needing it. 2007 macbook. I usually keep mine at a desk but I haven't taken out the battery. Your thoughts?

I have heard this advice as well from a friend ... will probably try it out with my next battery.

I've never been a fan of that advice. Of course not using a battery will improve it's life, but it greatly affects the device's usability.

Are you running Windows by any chance? My last battery died in a hurry when I started running Windows daily.
