vicshownero: u mean its bad to be leave it plugged for like 9hours? coz i normally do that all the time,but what i heard is that the laptop will start using the power directly from the mains once the battery is full so no need to unplug when the battery is full!please clarify

dl_jbd:
You mean you leave the system on for 9hours straight? COOL
The idea is that:
1. you should drain the battery once a while to about 25% and charge it back (like twice a week).
2. if the system is not in use, disconnect it once it is fully charged. I personally do not border to charge mine when
I'm not going to be around to monitor it, because with the kind of light NEPA gives (depending on where you live
anyway) you can't afford to leave it charging while you go out on parols...so disconnect before you leave and
continue the charging when you are around to monitor it.
3. if you know you are not going to use the laptop for over two weeks/months (probably when you plan to travel), detach
the battery from the laptop and keep separately in a safe place.
4. it is not advisable to play games (especially the heavy ones) on battery whether it is connected to electricity or
directly on battery (which is worse). What I do is that if I wanna play a game, I switch off my system, detach the
battery and connect directly to power, then on and play my game. But please, never do this on NEPA light, you know
they are not reliable, so get a good generator (not I-pass-my-neighbour gen) or an inverter before you attempt this.
This is to my own understanding and I stand corrected
but my last system was a HP pavilion which I used for over 4 years and I sold it with its original battery which still lasted for its usual 2 hours. So this has been working for me. gratitude

damatolnew: Guys, guys.... Please lets iron this battery issue ooo coz i seam to be confused.. Lets say for example i started browsing when my battery power is like 90% and i plugged in my charger and i kept on browsing and downloading films, do you think i should unplug my system once it's full or i should continue charging it even as it's full, having it in mind that you wanna keep browsing and downloading files close to like 10 hours straight.... Or i should keep unplugging when it's full and plug back when it has drained to like 80% again, and keep in mind that u are using nepa light that can off any time.... Guys what's your say to this?
