50% soc and lower temps than being in the hot laptop = long life.
I have to take the whole bottom cover off to get to the battery, so not really an option. This laptop is barely warm on the bottom area where the battery lives.

BTW - I tried the "Primarily AC Use" setting in the "Dell Power Manager" to see how high it would charge the battery. It charged it to 100% and held it there, which I don't like if the laptop is always plugged in. So I went back to the "Custom' setting and set it to keep the battery charge level between 50% and 80%.
