Too bad that some batteries wear out even faster this way because of the heat.
- tjohns 12y agoWhy would there be extra heat if the battery is fully charged? Shouldn't a well designed charge circuit disconnect once the battery hits 100%?
- tdkl 12y agoEmphasis on "well designed". The 500€ laptops I've experienced in the past weren't and you could murder the battery like this in couple months, no matter the brand (HP, Dell).
- basch 12y agothe laptop can run, plugged in, without the battery in it.
