Is it bad to keep your laptop always plugged into the recharger. My sister told me I should. Should I listen to her and charge it and then unplug it or should I just keep it plugged in?

no, you should charge it up, then unplug it and use it until battery is empty, then charge again. batteries last a lot longer when they're fully discharged, then charged again. if you keep it topped up by keeping it plugged in it shortens the battery life by a lot

The Batteries need to be used and charged often to keep most charge in them.
Most Batteries can slightly increase the amount of Charge, every time they've been drained then charged. I once got a laptop, it ran for 3 hours the first few weeks, by the 8th week I had ran for 5 hours flat out, and still had power in it when I came to recharge.
If you're planning to work out doors, charge, run on batteries, charge again.

every once in awhile you should take the charger out and let the battery hit zero.
this keeps it safe and running well...also,
Turn it off, completely, it should not run straight with the charger for weeks at a time!!
again, that can wear the battery out.

you should let the battery run down every so often. this helps with battery life.
