I’ve read it’s best to keep the battery between about 20% and 80%, don’t let it drop too low or charge it all the way up. Supposedly that helps it last longer.

To enhance laptop battery life, dim the screen brightness and activate battery saver mode in Microsoft Windows or macOS. Shut down any running applications and background processes to save energy.
