If the system is plugged in most of the time, the battery should be fully charged and there should be no charging indicator. If the battery loses some charge while it's plugged in and then has to be recharged, then it could be shortening the battery life. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/charging-of-laptop-battery#post-23951 Mon, 12 May 2008 03:09:40 +0000 Santo 23951@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No...<br /> check this..<br /> <a href='http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/batteries_sitelet/en/batteries_faq?c=us&#38;cs=04&#38;l=en&#38;s=bsd#faq8'>http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/batteries_sitelet/en/batteries_faq?c=us&#38;cs=04&#38;l=en&#38;s=bsd#faq8</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/charging-of-laptop-battery#post-23949 Mon, 12 May 2008 02:55:48 +0000 sauravrk 23949@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i most of the time plugin power cord online which charges my laptop battery. does this reduces the life of battery. </p>
