Title: Laptop question...
Post by: cougarman on October 18, 2010, 06:26:41 AM
I was wondering if you would do any harm to a laptop by leaving it plugged in for charging? Could you possibly overcharge the battery, and damage the laptop? This is an HP with Intel dual core proceesor, running Windows 7 Home premium. Thanks.:bowdown::D

leaving it plugged in is fine.  Unplugging it and only using it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in is bad.  If you unplug it you should discharge it to 80 percent so it doesn't develop a memory.  this is how I understand it.

I have never left the laptop unplugged if I was home, or near an outlet. These newer built in wireless mini books are awesome for trouble shooting cars.

Li-ion battery's don't have memory issues.
