[LUG] Laptop battery

 

As already mentioned my desktop computer screen has died on me so I am
now using my laptop as a desktop.

I do sometimes miss noticing that the battery is getting low and this
causes the laptop to suddenly lose all power. (As I have always had a
desktop computer until just recently I am not very knowledgeable about
working with laptops.) I know that this is not good for the battery,
but I am not too worried as I am quite happy to work with the  power on.

I have had a look around the internet and, as usual, come across
conflicting advice. I would like to simply turn on the power to the
laptop when I first use it in the morning and to leave it  on all
day until I am finished with it in the evening. Then turn it off
overnight. 

Is that a bad idea or would it be acceptable? I have heard that it is
not a good idea to run a laptop without any battery installed, so I
will leave it in place.

Any advice gratefully received,

Neil
