Its better u plugged ur battery out...!
Every battery has LifeTimer..! when u left it plugged in, it will decrease its LifeCycle.
To ensure lasting ur battery, from time to time, try to charge it nearly 8hrs without turning on ur LapTop.!
enjoy it ;)

Leaving the laptop on all night using the AC adapter plugged in is not such a great idea.Overcharging the battery is not good for battery life.
Here are a few tips to make laptop battery last long:
Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies -
Multimedia activities drain laptop batteries.
Disconnect all external device like PC Card modems, Firewire, USB devices and optical drives.
Use the notebook touchpad instead of an external mouse.
Adjust your screen brightness -
Dimming your display saves battery power.
5. Tweak Windows Power Options -
Choose a Laptop power scheme that turns off the notebook monitor and hard disk after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Decrease or mute the Laptop Speaker Volume.
Turn off all scheduled tasks.
Turn off Auto-save features in Microsoft Office and other applications.
If your PC has a built-in wireless card, turn it off or disable it when not in use.
Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive.

I do. Only because my system runs maintenance scripts in the wee hours of the morning. So far my battery has gone thru 182 cycles and it's at 94%. Just calibrate it at least once a month.
