Lithium-ion battery conservation

I have found a very well written article about how to use lithium-ion battery "Lithium-ion batteries: Myths and Legends" (Spanish) to enlarge the batteries' life. This article has broken some preconceived ideas I had about how to recharge and use this kind of batteries:
1. you don't have to follow full charge-discharge cycles, in fact this is bad for the battery life, it's better to make partial recharges.
2. heat is very harmful for batteries, some web pages recommend to remove the battery from the laptop when the computer is running on fixed power.

The previous article is based on this one from BatteryUniversity.com which also contains very valuable information.
As an additional reference, the page of the Lithium-ion battery in Wikipedia, which also includes guidelines for prolonging Li-ion battery life.
