Battery Question

Hi all,

I unplug my laptop from the AC adapter once a weekday for a few hours, then I plug it back in for the night and it is plugged in all the time during the weekends. Is this bad for the adapter? It gets pretty warm, should I shut my laptop off during the night and unplug the adapter?

Thanks,
Brandon

You'll be fine. Your AC adapter will get pretty hot/warm when you're charging. It's normal. After it's done charging, you'll notice that it cools down just a bit, not much. But yes it usually stays warm when used/plugged in.
