I am getting a new laptop, the laptop that I have at the moment is
usually plugged into the mains can you tell me if it is damaging to the
battery to run a laptop this way. Should it be continually drained and
recharged?
Lynn
Google for battery care and maintenance, lots of information. Mostly
recommend taking it out and storing at 45% of charge. Recharge every 3
weeks and drain to 45%, store etc. This is supposed to prolong the life
of the battery.
