MonkeyMhz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 When I play games on my laptop I plug it into the wall and play. I never take the battery out of the lappy. Is this bad? Should I be removing the battery when plugged in when it needs no charging. Or does it not make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 li-Ion batterys only have a certian amout of times they can be charged. (will depend on the spec of the battery) But they no longer have a memory like the old skool ones did. so you dont need to make them go flat to get the best charge out of them. Over a period of 2-3 years you will notice the amout of charge time is deminished considirably. So if you intend on keeping it for a long time, then take the battery out. I wouldnt bother tho. If you dont use the battery then that will kill it. they need a certian amout on charge to keep alive. If this is 0% for more than a few hours. Then you will need to get it reconditioned/ or buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyMhz Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Ok, well the batterys always charged and i leave it in, and i only use it rarely. like 1-2 times a month using the battery. And if it will take 2+ years for it to be a noticeable effect it doesent bother me, cuz I plan to buy a laptop every 1-2 years and then once i get my ~ Real Job ~ after schooling ill be buying a laptop every year and a desktop 1nce a year with multiple upgrades to keep on the cutting edge. Yes I love to fritter my money away on this sh@t. However not right now, only once i get a job were i can use it as a excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
