windows 7 - when my laptop battery is fully charged should i unplug charger and let the battery discharge?






I was wondering if when a laptop battery is full charged if one should unplug it and let the battery discharge or it can be left plugged in. I want to know because I have heard that when the battery is full and the charger stays in it actually harms the battery by killing the cells etc.


Answer



Ideally your laptop would have a setting that would only charge to 60-80% of full charge. This lets you leave the charger plugged in all the time without causing serious degradation of the battery.


But not all laptops have this feature.
