How to convince my parents that I am right

So since i aint going to summer school, they decide to not let me use laptop until they get home. they think they are so smart so they take the laptop battery away, probably for the whole summer.. and eventually the charger everyday. so that means ill never see the battery for few months.
So I read that if you dont charge your battery for a long time, the battery will die and wont ever work again. i tell my parents and they dont believe me saying that i just want to play without the charger while they are gone. any compromises? i just dont want my battery to die. its essential if i want to use the laptop on-the-go

do something productive and show your parents that you don't need your laptop and maybe they'll loosen up and trust you with the laptop and give you the charger.

Get another battery and damn, if you're not going to summer school and there's basically nothing else to do in your home except going on the internet. It really sucks your parents are like that.
And to convince your parents, show evidence from the internet or any online article saying that not charging it is causing harm to the battery.

Just go to summer school and then there should be no problem. Win-win situation.

Just tell them you need the laptop for school.
They are hindering your educational opportunities by not allowing you constant access to the internet. Seriously.

Buy a different battery.
If they're willing to listen then show them some article or whatever that says what happens to batteries.
