anonymeX said:Hi, i have a new laptop as well and i think it averages 3.5 hours of battery life. But i've been using it for awhile with the charger connected. And i usually leave it for awhile with the charger connected while in turned off. Is this killing the battery?
#Curtis said:Yes, batterys lose charge over time anyway, keeping your laptop constantly conntected to a charger will cause it to discharge, you will notice that slowly over time your battery life will descrease, it is similar to phone batterys, you should never over charge them, when they say that battery is full unplug the AC power and use it until you get the low battery alert, then plug in your AC and charge it up. This will reduce damage to the battery.
