I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I probably get a few hours of deck time a month.

Between long periods of no use, is it better to leave it plugged in and charged, or is it better to let it run out of battery and stay discharged for extended periods?

If it's important to you, I'd say check it every month. If it's not very important to you, check it at least every 6 months.
