battery vs AC

[pranay1]

is it safe to run a computer only on AC power without a battery? Does it helps to increase the battery life?

[erico · Accepted solution]

Yes. It is safe to do that.

It will help to increase that battery life if you remove it at @40% charge and keep it in a reasonably cool place.

If you leave it out for a lengthy period at full charge then over time the capacity of the battery will be reduced.

Hi,

It's perfectly safe to run your notebook on the Ac Adapter.  If you use it like this most of the time, you can preserve the maximum life of your battey by letting it discharge to around 40%, then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool location.

Do you mean to remove the battery from the notebook?

Is that safe?

And when battery is needed again,can we jst put it back or is there anything that we need make changes?
