To maximize the battery, when you get the battery initally charge it to full and keep it plugged in for ~8 hours after it says it's been charged to full. This will ensure that you reach the max capacity of the battery. This isn't much use to people who aleardy have laptops in use.
As for prolonging the battery life, if you pull the battery out when it's plugged into the wall it will stop the charge cycles and help reduce stress on the battery. Also, when running on battery power, try to keep the battery life between 20% and 80% of the max. If you charge the battery to full and discharge it completely on a regular basis it will also put stress on the battery which will eventually decrease the max capacity of the battery.
