Not now. That's good advice from new, pretty much all rechargeable
battery types lose a little capacity every time they are charged right
up to the limit, less so if charged less. A continuously-charged
lithium battery might typically last three to five years, which is not a
problem if you buy a new laptop every year, but most of us don't.

If you have the discipline, or a configuration option as a few lithium
battery devices have, it's optimal to recharge when the charge level is
down to around 50% and to charge to no more than 90%. This will
maximise the life of nearly all types of battery, including lead-acid.

Some people operate almost entirely away from the mains, and need every
possible second of battery life, but most people use laptops indoors,
and indeed, keep them plugged in all the time. 

It's not that replacement batteries are enormously expensive, it's more
a matter that you never know how good the replacements are, even if
they are 'genuine manufacturer's original', and one that's specific to a
particular laptop series may become unobtainable too quickly. And a
general dislike of waste, of course.
