And a 30$ battery after 3-5 years is less then 1$ in a month so yes it is cheap not only for me. There other ways to save much more money in a shorter duration.
Besides most ppl will upgrade their laptop befor being in need for a new battery.

I also only meant that it's cheap when you consider buying from the brand directly; like say Dell; they'd usually be asking something like $99+ for a replacement battery; again depending on model and such.

Ive left my charger in all the time, and now i only get less than an hour of battery life. It is not true the battery stops charging, as it still ruins the battery. Now i have to buy a replacement battery AND another SSD (Low storage) my dell inspiron battery is shot.

This would be the same if you'd not left your charger turned on. Batteries die. This is the law of nature.

Run CPUID HWMonitor; see what it says for the Battery info; such as Wear %

Laptops DO stop charging when done, if you don't understand this, well we can't help you. This is how it works, plain and simple. Motherboards in Laptops have a way to logic switch on the fly which power source it's using. Tablets/Phones do not. For those devices, all the device ever sees is the Battery, AC/USB power for those just charges the battery and the device continues to feed off of that. Laptops do not work this way.

Most, if not all, fire services recommend unplugging all the chargers before going to bed. Lithium/Ion gets nasty quick in the cases where it does go wrong.

Do you unplug you TV also? And your fridge?

If was up to the Fire Department we wouldn't own any electronics or flammables; yet here we are...

Just use common sense; don't fall asleep with phone or similar device in your bed, yes to avoid a fire hazard. But a very critical one.

My understanding is it is the Charge Cycles that kill the battery because batteries only have so many ie 800-900 charge cycles.

For ppl that leave it plugged in all the time you'd be using up charge cycles as the battery discharges the charger kicks in every time it kicks in it's a Charge Cycle. My daughter found this out the hard way with a 9 cell battery toast in 2 years, my lappy battery 5 yrs later is still all good.

Overnight charging if the lappy is powered down sure I don't see a problem with that but don't leave it in sleep mode or whatever power it down as in shut it off and unplug the charger when you get up in the morning.

Basically try to avoid minimal discharge and repetitive charge using up the Cycles.

Since neither of those contain lithium ion batteries, or connect through chargers... no.

I already have proof, so this information is false. I left a charger in a perfectly new laptop, and after a couple of months I don't even get one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour on battery. So as much as you think that they stop charging, test it for yourself on a gaming laptop, then you'll see. My other friends have had experience with this so unless you test it yourself, don't try to argue.
