In addition to Coconut Battery and Mini Status Battery Widget, you might want to check out low battery saver. It’s an app that makes sure your Mac sleeps before the battery completely
runs out and lets you set a warning to alert you that the computer is
about to sleep. (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/low-battery-saver) It won’t fix your battery problems but at least
you won’t lose your work, have to restart your computer etc.

Nope, I don’t have a laptop, nor do I plan to travel with one. I’m only planning to bring my digital camera and mp3 player.

I’m glad to hear I won’t be the only one carrying around 2 adapters.

I do the “plugged in all the time I can” thing and my battery has lasted 3 years so far. That's all I know

Is it better to leave a laptop plugged into an outlet when it is fully charged? Thus the laptop runs on the AC charge instead of the battery, therefore enhancing the life of the battery?

Or is it better to unplug it from the outlet when the battery becomes fully charged, then use the battery. Thus you do not overcharge the battery, shortening the life, but allow the electrons to flow causing a longer battery life.

These are two different arguments I've been hearing. Could someone point me to the truth?

yes,all laptop batteries eventually wear out, and as they do, they operate for less and less time. You can prolong the life of your battery with regular monthly maintenance. Once a month, run your MacBook on battery until it puts itself to sleep, indicating the battery is empty.
