1. This doesn't apply to laptops made in recent years. Intelligent circuitry has been designed in laptops to switch the power from battery to power adapter when battery is full. So it's actually advisable to keep it plugged in so it doesn't drain your battery because charging and discharging batteries frequently causes it to deteriorate faster. Run a battery report and it will show you how may cycles (full charge and full discharge) it's done and indication of the laptops usage.
*****************************************************
Battery: You can create a battery report in Windows by doing the following an example of report below
a. Hit Windows Button + X and select Command Prompt (Admin). This is the quickest way to open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
b. Type in and enter: powercfg /batteryreport ( report saved at C:\Windows\system32\battery-report.html)
c. Open the Battery report HTML file to view it.
******************************************************

2. Unless you remove your battery regularly to allow debris and dust to settle on the contact there no need. Some laptops actually have their batteries enclosed so you can't suggest someone unscrews the bottom cover regularly to clean contacts. Fast charging is facilitated by circuitry designed in the laptp to do that not by using alcohol to rub contacts

3. RAM needs power to work so installing more RAM will required extra power from the battery

4. Hibernating does shut down the PC and saves resume data on the HDD instead of the RAM so will save energy however resuming from hibernation is much much slower than resuming from standby, which puts the pc is a low power state, energy draw is insignificant.

5. Agree on this more apps mean more resources need increasing power draw.

6. Agree with this
