    Is it bad to keep it plugged in when fully charged all the time?

    For the past little while I have been just leaving it pluged in at 100% and using it while plugged in, is this bad to do? I only unplug it when going out with it, this is maybe once or twice a week, I use it on my bed and the cord reaches me perfectly so I sorta figured it might be just using the outlet power instead of the battery, is this so or is it consistently charging and discharging the battery when plugged in?



    I would not worry so much if the battery was replaceable but that seems unlikely.

    I don't really mind it too much. I do leave it on the Touchstone often. Haven't noticed anything dramatic but we all overcharge our devices.

    Its draining it and then charging it to full where it is beneficial.
    PM me any of my threads needs an update.

    So it does overcharge? It doesn't just cut off and run off the wall charger for energy when plugged in and totally filled to 100%? Hmmnot sure if I should just keep it plugged in always... :-/

    the meter on that thing isnt accurate. if it just hits 100% and i take it off and surf the web its down to 90% within 15 minutes... if i leave it on there for an hour longer after it supposedly goes to 100% those same 15 minutes take less than 5% from the bar.
