To maximize battery life, use it with the power adapter as much as possible. If you use it constantly connected to AC, at least monthly use it under battery power only to about the 40% charge level. Then you can reconnect. The Apple battery must be 'exercised' occasionally for optimum performance and life.

Look at these articles for other good information regarding batteries and their use.
