Leave it plugged in?

I understand that for lithium batteries, you aren't supposed to let charge for long periods of time. The internal of the MacBook Air charger takes care of that internally (optimal load time) and I can leave it plugged in all the time, or do I know not to leave it plugged in power for weeks at a time when it is not be used (and rejected)?

There is no harm in leaving it plugged, however, it's a good idea to use it on battery power at least a few times a week. You don't have to empty it completely, or you wish to actually if you can avoid it.

If you are not going to use it at all for a long time (weeks), it's wise to shut it down and unplug it. Though leave it plugged will not harm it, it must consider external factors, you never know when you can get hit by a power spike that can damage the charger or the laptop.

    Hello:

    This is a HP support document that provides useful information on how to maximize the battery life...

    It answers your question if it is OK to leave the charger plugged all the time... No, it's not.

  • Companion of power - leave it plugged all the time?

    I just received the companion of 18 000 mah power and had a quick question. Is it harmful to the battery to let online with my laptop (XPS 13) supported 'all the time '?

    I hope that the companion is smart enough for the transmission of the power directly to the laptop when the battery is fully charged. I'm mainly a/c power, but do not take trips that extend from time to time.

    Thank you

    No it won't. The battery controls the load and the load stops when it is fully charged. You can monitor the load using BattStat. The charge current will drop slowly and eventually drop to zero.

  • Is not harmful for your iPhone to stay all day plugged?

    I recently bought the Apple Smart box, and after a week of use, I was wondering if is not bad for your phone or even for the internal battery, in charge of all day or be connected every time?

    I know that all the products Apple has a guarantee of flawless quality and the Holster is designed by Apple for the iPhone, but I've heard tell that some people even had trouble with the lightning connector.

    Thank you

    Depending on how the new iPhone you have, it stops to load in full and only run on wired power until unplugged. So in addition to the normal battery use wear, leave it plugged should not harm him.

    Good luck

  • Light green quick plug - Airport Express A1088

    Hello

    I have an Airport Express A1088, I moved into a new House, so I used it for 8 months.

    Today I plugged it and when I plugged an infinite green flash very very fast with suspicion.

    I search for anything on this question and reset factory is the main suggestion for the problem.

    It does not work:

    -plug in the airport for a long time the reset button

    -leave it plugged the airport then tap and hold the reset button

    -Plug/unplug the cables

    I don't really know what to do.

    Any advise?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, the internal power supply on the AirPort Express can provide is no longer enough current to allow the Express function properly. This should in a product that is at least 8 years and as much as 11, since most routers designed for home use are engineered to operate for about 5 years.

    Congratulations... you did much, much better than average with your AirPort Express Terminal.

    If you're really handy with small electronic repairs and don't worry, spend time to saw carefully not open the case of the Express along the seam of middle to expose the electronics repair was possible. The drawback here is that you probably need to buy another second hand Express to get the parts needed for the repairs.

    However, since this would imply also opened the second hand Express for the pieces to be cut, I think that you can understand that it would not make much sense to do it when you could simply replace the defective Express with a working model. Another option would be to invest in a new Express and go ahead.

    But it's your decision.

  • HP Jet 8: 8 HP flow can't keep not fresh, takes place at 0% even when it is plugged

    My HP flow 8 tablet has never held public office.  I leave it plugged in all night and the next day it is fully charged, but the charge only lasts 2 hours at the most, even if it is plugged I use it all the time.  He goes down to 0% and turns off.  I put aside for several hours to recharge.

    I'm looking for another Tablet, but the flow 8 HP serves all my needs except that it only lasts 2 hours before going to 0% while I use it, even if it is plugged in all the time.  I really hope to solve the problem, rather than having to buy a new tablet.

    Any suggestions?

    If you hold the low volume button while powering it will enter in the BIOS boot menu, you can press F2 to run diagnostics and there is a component for the battery test.  I think you are saying that the screen turns off after that two hours than even when the charger is plugged in, it does not seem that should happen.  If you have not already, try another charger.  If you plug the USB on another computer, which will allow to load also.  You can update the BIOS if you have not already too.

    Hello

    Yes, you can leave the AC adapter plugged into the laptop.

    You would get probably more answers by asking in the forum of MacBook Pro, it is a forum of the iMac. However to answer your question please read http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/#macbook that your MBP has of a battery for a reason, leave it plugged all the time is not recommended and can shorten the life. Use of the battery, it's like exercise for your body. It is quite correct to run until the computer may not be running, then recharge it again.

  • portable computer does not support. Yet battery monitor says "plugged in, not support.» What are some options?

    my laptop is connected, and yet power monitor says "plugged in, does not support." What are some solutions?

    Hi Joseph,.

    Something similar just happened to me. The first time they fixed it, they have replaced the adapter and the problem is solved. 5 months later it started to happen again and this time they replaced the battery, the motherboard and the milling table (thanks to heaven, it is still under warranty). Fortunately, thanks to the new adapters, battery started to load and the experience does not seem to damage it in any way (but you should keep your eyes on it anyway just in case).

    How they were able to say on my laptop - a Dell E1705 (other than just experience and common sense) was to go into the BIOS (starts, it should be a brief Flash on the screen telling you how to enter the BIOS setup or menu of the BIOS (usually F2) and check the battery information. He showed that the power adapter 'unidentified' instead "90W" list which should be when it is working properly and that the battery was not complete and not charging well plugged. They changed the motherboard and the roll the second time because it could also cause the adapter is not being recognized by the battery (or battery not not recognize the adapter).

    The beep is caused by power and its configured settings to warn you of a low and critical battery condition. In a normal situation, the computer will work right next to the power adapter and does not the battery (it is a way to help maintain the battery life is to run periodically and refill if we leave normally plugged in most of the time). If you remove the batttery entirely, the laptop will power? If this isn't the case, it is certainly at least the adapter or the motherboard. Eventually the battery will get if low, that he's going to sleep or hibernation, or the system stops (you should shut down normally before him to cold shutdown like that). If If, then I expect the tone to go further because it will detect is no longer a low battery charge, because there is no battery - but then you'll want to be sure to use either a battery backup UPS, or at least a surge protector otherwise already in place because if you lose the laptop battery will crash hard and this is not good for her.

    I'm using 32 bit Vista Business SP2 and in Control Panel / sounds / Sounds there is an option for low battery alert. The default to have this. In this case, you can turn off to avoid the beep. In addition, you can go into Control Panel / Power Options, click the plan settings and click on battery. It will provide you with levels of low battery and critical battery and you provide measures to be taken in such a case. If you are unable to operate the system without battery and it is so weak that the alerts began, you probably fell to 11-5% remaining. You can adjust actions to nothing for bass and stop to criticism that 5% is about as close as you want to get to the point where you can hang. Then, you just need to wait until it is repaired and the appropriate parts are replaced.

    Even if you have still some life in it, it is best to contact the manufacturer (they the some have the right parts) or a computer of reputable workshop to get a good diagnosis (perhaps by phone at first), a determination of what must be fixed, the applicable fees, schedule, if it is still under any kind of warranty , and what needs to be done in which order of repair. They can find the adapter is OK and it is just the battery (or vice-versa or two or more). But that's essentially where you need start.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Problem installing drive USB Flash to use as RAM in Windows Vista, the device is plugged into an unsupported interface"

    Im trying to use a new 4G Verbatim USB flash as RAM drive. The USB 2.0 flash drive, micro size so I can leave it plugged dedicated solely to that purpose.  When I go to 'Properties' and I open the reading push tab I get "the device is plugged into an unsupported interface ' it is plugged into the USB 2.0 port I used before.»   When I plug the USB in an another store bought (more long and 8 GB) I click on the Ready Boost tab and I get the options use as RAM. This one is too long to use.

    Hello

    You can view the information of the link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/using-memory-in-your-storage-device-to-speed-up-your-computer

    Note: a flash drive may seem meet these requirements, but Windows Vista can still detect it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.

    Hope the information is useful.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-3103sa: HP Pavilion dv6-3103sa does not then illuminate that plugged

    Hi - my HP Pavilion dv6-3103sa has recently developed a fault.

    It lights up with the power cable connected to it.  So that the laptop starts I have to first remove the power cable.

    Similarly, before you turn off the laptop, I need to unplug the power cable.

    If I leave it plugged in and turn off the machine, I can't start at all. The solution is to remove the power cable and the battery, then replace the battery only and then turn on the machine.

    I also noticed that with the removed battery and the power cable is connected, the laptop does not start again.

    Watching the light next to the power cord plug when plugged in the cable it quickly flashes of white, to orange, then back - tell me no power isn't learning laptop in this State.

    I also tried a different power supply with the same intensity from a mobile phone of similar work with the same results.

    Please notify.

    @ScatchyMonkey,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  The problem you are having is with the motherboard.  There is a part that regulates the power and allows the system to know if it is connected or not connected and if it failed, you will need to have it sent repair.  Here is the link that will help you communicate with the correct service.

    Contact HP support.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • Windows 7 Starter Edition ignoring newly plugged in USB 2.0 optical drive

    My system is as follows...

    ASUS EeePC X101CH
    Intel Atom N2600 processor. 1.60 GHz
    1 GB OF RAM
    Windows 7 Starter 32-bit
    Service Pack 1
    .. .and I try 'plug & play' the next optical drive...

    Blu - Ray Burner laptop Samsung SE-506CB/RSBDE (USB 2.0)
    .. What is completely ignored.  I tried to put disks in there - the drive open and close and spin upward, as you would expect, but it is completely ignored by Windows!  Plug the USB cable produces no response - not even in the Device Manager.  USB plug & play works great on other things, like drives flash, mouse, etc., but not on this.

    It's the third optical drive to external USB 2 I've tried.  The first two were a lesser specification, and I picked up their very cheap, so I thought "you get what you pay for", right?  The first was dead as a stiff - it has absolutely nothing, so I threw.  The other triggered at least detection code plug-and-play USB, which is supposed to install automatically - but he did not install correctly in the end.  After trying and trying... and leave it plugged during the re-booting, etc...  All to nothing does not.

    So I decided to buy this last Blu - Ray USB external hard drive (which cost more than twice the two other combined!) thinking this will surely work correctly at least.  But Windows 7 does not yet seem to shake hands with her!

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks a lot for this amazingly comprehensive reply Hakanwar!

    I was fine it and found it very informative.  Some of the avenues I had already tried, and some I consider even earlier.  I'll keep your answer and refer to it if I have a similar problem again.

    But, alas!  The case seems to have fixed itself somehow the new optical drive has finally been detected and I've been able to tell, it is fully functional!  I'm still trying to understand what I did to make it work.  What I did (in response to a suggestion that I've seen in a community post on a related topic) was to download a few utility programs (DevManView and USBDeview) of Nirsoft.com and run them on my system.  I then connected the optical drive via its microUSB cable once again and - Lo and behold! -He was there, and I was running!  Common sense would thought he could not have been the utility programs that makes the disc visible.  So all I can think is that maybe the USB cable not had not been connected properly when I tried earlier.  I remember try several times, and the Clank of the connection about to ensure that she was sitting properly.  But it was not only detect.  Maybe there are 2 'stages' or 'steps' to this type of connector, because (I'm not sure), but it could have a little more deeply he did before and more firmly in place.  I can't just be sure - and now I'm almost worried to disconnect in case he stops working again!  It makes me feel like a fool, if this is really the cause of the problem.  But it's weird, because the road turned upwards before and LED to this subject was the lighting, but it was as if she wasn't there that Windows is concerned.

    In any case, thank you for your kind assistance and the other guy who suggested the Nirsoft utilities - they could be useful in the future, because they are waaaaay more complete than Device Manager.

    I need this so because its not good for the trip. I'm going to Germany to visit family if I go in Brussels, I know that the airport has charging stations.  God forbid if I go to the United States to visit his family.

    is there something I can do? Any advice will be welcome.

    Thanks - danke schön

    First, plug in your iPhone, let the screen off and do nothing for a long period of time. Leave it plugged in all night while you sleep is perfect for that.

    Then, restart your iPhone by pressing and maintaining the sleep/wake and home buttons.

    You can also try following the suggestions of battery life. Go to settings > farm > find 'Suggestions of battery life.
