Interesting. Do you have any sources that say the battery is a fire hazard if plugged in 24/7?

- doubled112 4y agoI'm curious too. Every thread about always on laptops leads me to this question. People leave their laptops plugged in all the time. I've run about 5 laptops 24x7 over the years for at least a year a piece. No issues. I put an HP Envy onto a shelf in the garage, and the battery swelled enough to ruin the touchpad and case. In all the laptops I have owned, the only problem battery was idle, unplugged and uncharged.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoBeing uncharged is actually pretty tough on the battery, for safety and longevity they're best stores somewhere between 40%-60% charged (that's why they come that way from the factory). https://www.uschemicalstorage.com/how-to-store-lithium-batteries/ https://www.uschemicalstorage.com/how-to-store-lithium-batte...
- hulitu 4y agoWe have at work some HP laptops and got a strong recommandation from IT to not keep them plugged in all day due to the risk of swollen batteries.
