Leave the charger plugged

I heard myths on both sides. Is it bad for the battery if I leave my charger permanently connected?

I have a aspire s3 ultrabook.

Batteries may have a cutoff point, but with the charger plugged in, the battery is not used.

I can also speak from experience. People who leave their always connected laptops have a reduced autonomy than those who regularly use the battery.

To be fair, the batteries are better now that they used to be, but they still have to pay from time to time.

    I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

    Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

    "The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

    Yes you can do it and you should not be afraid that this will affect the battery!

  • Battery high capacity HP, it's OK to keep the charger plugged in?

    Hi all

    This is my first question here and I hope that you will help me

    I want to ask if it's OK to keep the charger is plugged into the laptop while the battery is full?

    I mean when the battery is 100%, the energy will go directly to the PC or it will go to the battery before?

    Hello

    These days the batteries must be smart enough to stop takes over when it is full. I don't see the difference of remove and keep the batteries on the sector, some machines sit on a docking station all the time and some machines can be ON / OFF. This is my response to another post:

  • Palm tx only works with the charger plugged

    My palm that TX only works when it is plugged into the ac charger.  The symptoms started after I left unused device for about 2 weeks.  When it is plugged in, I get the symbol of battery charging.  The battery icon says 100%.  As soon as I unplug the charger, it dies.  I left it plugged for 2.5 hrs and still does not work when I unplug. I tried to reset hard with no improvement.

    Do I need new battery?

    Thank you

    A last ditch effort - connect the charger and press the reset button.  Let the TX through a soft reset and let it charge for a few hours.

    If still no joy, so yes it looks that your battery has reached the end of its useful life.

    Many places online will repair it for you, or allow you to buy a battery and DIY.  See directfix.com for a video on the TX of repair.

  • My Acer Aspire R14 does not start with the cord of the charger plugged in with the battery connected to

    A few weeks ago, my laptop Acer Aspire R14 went totally blank. When I unplugged the power cord, it started right to the top, but at the moment where I plugged the power cord back inside would be closed. The battery dies quickly in this way, because it would not charge. I removed the battery then it started upward with the power cord. I thought it must be the battery, so I installed a new battery. which is not to change the problem.

    So, I ordered a new motherboard and after a few weeks, I received it today, installed, and I have always the same thing. It works well with the power cord plugged in until the battery is disconnected. But at the time wherever I connect the battery, everything stops, not to be revived unless I disconnect the battery.

    I need help! What could be the problem?

    Glad I could help.

  • My dv6439nr does not turn on, it is not getting any power. No blue light around the charger plug.

    My dv6439nr does not illuminate. I bought 2 Chargers on the HP store, and at first I thought none of them worked, until I tried with my phone friend, and it worked. My laptop runs on windows vista 64-bit. I don't remember what was the last thing I did my phone before that happened. I need help please! Some people say that it is the motherboard that is broken, if it is, I'll be able to buy somewhere?

    Of your symptoms listed above, it seems that the MB is perhaps the issue, however please go through the following document that helps you identify the problem with your laptop.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01443371

    I would advise you to call HP support and to reserve the unit for repair if the problem persists because the motherboard is not available outside. (unless someone is there to sell on ebay)

  • New Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M turns on if the charger is plugged?

    Hi all

    New to the forum so grateful for any help on this matter.

    I bought a brand new laptop Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M last week. Now it works fine up until today. The last time that I used it while just running the battery was Monday night. I was working on the laptop, send email etc. today, and I decided to change rooms. For some reason, I still have to discover that I disconnected the charger from the wall (instead of simply unplug the charger from the laptop) so that it was plugged into the laptop and the laptop just turned off much to my shock. It was sparking that I saw the decision-making that I removed the CAP, but now the laptop lights not unless supply current is connected. If I unplug the charger, the computer does not illuminate.

    Now, my first thought is I (crossed beams) killed the battery, but the strange thing is, when the laptop is plugged in and turned on and I'm on my screen and I click on the battery icon in the taskbar it States 94% available (plugged in, load)

    While I wait for some answers I hope I shut down the laptop and leave the charger plugged in to see if the battery has loaded more than 94%

    Hello

    I think that the BIOS update would be worth a try in your case. Take a look at the Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    But before you start the update: make sure that you are logged on as administrator and close all running programs. Unzip all files from zip archive first.
    After update successful BIOS load default settings in the BIOS.

    Are you using the original Toshiba battery and AC adapter or they are 3rd parties gone?

  • Phone to download a lot of data via WiFi only when the charger is plugged - iPhone iOS 9.3.1 6s

    Hello

    Just today, I noticed that my iPhone 6s was download continuously at the speed of the network via WiFi only when is plugged in the wall charger or the USB loader on the computer. As soon as I stop charging the phone, the download stops. I have no idea what download and I'm a little frustrated because my connection high speed/wireless home is capped.

    Sync to iTunes on WiFi and iCloud backups are disabled. I had subscribed to 9.3.2 iOS beta on the registration by registering with my Apple ID last week, but I haven't added the certificate so that it can download OTA or via iTunes. I have no update available on my Apple store as well.

    I noticed the slowdown on my cause of internet connection of desktop computers that my phone of summer download something on wifi while he is in charge and I also saw the use of the network by using "System Monitor" app on the App store.

    Kindly help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    I did a factory reset on by phone by "Erase all content and data" and chose to set up as a "new iPhone" after reset done. There are now only apple applications on the phone, I connected to wifi with the charger plugged and the problem persists. I wonder if it was to be an apple iOS update, I am on iOS 9.3.1 and 9.3.2 is still in beta, I'm not sure if there is an apple update going on in the background.

    Kindly help.

  • Acer Aspire V5 552 slow game performance low when it is plugged into the charger (HELP!)

    So, I recently noticed that my Acer laptop has a problem when it comes to games. The speed of the CPU is really low when you start a game, I did not notice this until a few hours before... I was playing Borderlands 2 and I am disconnected from my laptop to move it to my office and I noticed that my FPS has increased almost double what they were before, I plugged my laptop for the charger and I started to look at the the CPU cores, each carrot got preatty fluctuating between speed and low speed. I've tested this with all my games and all had the same results, for example a Borderlands 2 area when it is plugged in the exercise was about 18-22 FPS, but when disconnected from the charger the FPS increased from 34-48 or more. I tried to read a lot of things on the web and can not find a solution to this...

    Another test I did was with Dolphin Gamecube emulator, the FPS when playing the legend of Zelda The Wind Waker varies between 22-26 or lower on the places of strong thickness, when unplugging my laptop charger I have 30 fps constant in these heavy areas.

    Also with Counter Strike Global Offensive, the game normally ran about 50-60 FPS in all the cards and then tested without the charger plugged in and got 70-120 FPS on all cards

    This video shows exactly what happens for me, unless I have an AMD GPU and CPU.

    My Acer Aspire V5 552 Specs are.
    Windows 7 X 64
    8 GB RAM
    AMD A8 - 5557M @2. 1 GHz to 2.8 GHz Turbo
    AMD 8550G GPU
    I have all the latest drivers and updates installed.

    The charger is not damaged, it is original one supplied with the notebook.

    Got a nice deal on a MSI gaming laptop. At first I thought that the Aspire V5 has been an excellent laptop for budget games, but then turned that has a performance problem that ruined the processors to give power maxi while only plugged in, but when unplugged the other way around. Still a nice cell phone with potential wasted with this particular problem.

    No solution to this problem, tecs don't even bother looking at BIOS like other manufacturers of laptop to solve this same problem.

  • My laptop screen went completely black when I plugged in the charger. Help, please!

    My dough went critical at seven percent (7%) last night and I went down to the charger plugged it. The screen is totally black, but its still on.

    PS. It is not a problem of screen brightness.

    A concerned customer.

    You need to make a diagnosis.

    If your laptop has a VGA video port, try connecting a monitor to it.

    Have you tried a full stop and restart?  Stop, remove the battery.  Hold the button for 7 seconds.  Now, without the battery, a power.  If this brings a screen, stop it again and re - install the battery and try again.

    Until you can provide more specific information, no one will be able to help you.

  • can I leave the laptop battery connected to ca all the time?

    I leave the battery plugged all time ogical?

    If you leave the power adapter plugged with the laptop turned off, it will draw a very small load of maintenance with the adapter, not enough to cause any damage. Electricity requires a complete circuit and if the laptop is not attracting a lot of power, the adapter does not work hard. This logic we would unplug a desktop computer, even when the computer is turned off, so the internal power supply would last longer. Not necessary, and no one does.
