Is it safe for notebooks?
I have a brand new presario v2000 notebook, and I wonder is it safe when we recharge the battery and unplug it when it's already full while we're using the notebook (the notebook is running on AC power instead of battery)? I mean, won't it do any bad effect to the battery at all?
I'm assuming that when we're turning on the notebook while the AC power is connected and the battery is full, the notebook is automatically choosing its power supply to the AC power, so it won't recharge the battery anymore. Is that true? Thanks |

If you're asking what I think you are (and that is will plugging in a laptop to mains power after starting it up on battery cause any damage) then no

If your notebook will run on AC with the battery removed, go for it. This very well may extend the useable life of the battery. Not all will do this, however.

If its a new battary you need to cycle it a few times (charge/discharge) after that its safe to pull it out. |

Thanks guys
 Anyway, what if: Battery is low, I turn my laptop on, I plug the charger in, I play with the laptop, then the battery is full (charging LED indicator off, and windows' taskbar indicator says "running on AC power"), I keep playing the laptop all day long with the charger on (the battery's not removed) until I shut down the laptop. Would that be harm for the battery, or even the system? Thx again |

So the presario V2000 does run off the powercord without the battery in it? I have the same laptop.
