But this is completely false nowadays because the batteries are Lithium-ion or Lithium-polymer based. These batteries can be charged anytime regardless the current percentage charged - and absolutely no effect on the battery.But batteries are built to handle a certain number of charge cycles. Essentially, a charge cycle equals one complete discharge down to zero and then a recharge back up to 100 percent. A discharge down to 50% and then back to 100% would equal half a cycle. Over time, each charge cycle decreases a battery’s capacity from its design specs, meaning that the fewer times you drain it, the longer the battery last!<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />Having the charger connected doesn't usually make a difference unless the notebook gets overheated. If the heats up with continuous use (depending on what you do) then it might be better to remove the battery altogether and run on mains power. It is overheating that kills Lithium batteries.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
