I have an HP DV 6000 laptop from around 2007 and had issues with a
shorter battery life than was expected. When I contacted HP, their
official line for that model was to remove the battery when you are
plugged in to AC for 2 weeks or longer. I never saw this in the
documentation provided with the laptop. Perhaps they want to sell more
batteries.
