Vent: Found a battery stat that changed my whole approach

I was reading through a forum post on laptop battery care last Tuesday and saw a chart showing that keeping a laptop plugged in at 100% all day cuts battery life by almost 40% over two years. I had been leaving mine plugged in since I bought it 18 months ago and never thought twice about it. Has anyone else tried unplugging once it hits 80% and seen a difference?

Wow that stat is wild, I'm definitely unplugging mine at 80% now too.

Wait, is that actually bad for the battery long term?
