We left laptops plugged in for 5 or more years at a time.
When the laptops were replaced the lowest SOH was about 83%, most were in the 90+ percent SOH.

Now if one uses the battery daily, charges at night you can see a battery last about a year before you have complaints from the user.

About 2014, I was using a Toshiba Satellite laptop computer. My laptop had an easily removeable/replaceable battery. To conserve the battery, I would remove the battery and plug the tablet in to the wall socket instead which minimized the need to charge it so often and prolonged its useful life. Typical usage with it constantly connected with the battery lessened the useful life of that battery to about 1 -2 years on average before it was time to replace it. Never forget the rule YMMV (your mileage may vary).
