    It's possible. If you leave your AC connect all day long, once the battery becomes full, it'll stop charging. It'll sit like this until it reaches a certain point before it starts charging again. Same thing happens to my HP NX8220. So while you're using it during the day, the battery is already starting to drop slighty. You then unplug it overnight and it'll loose a percent. If you feel that this is a problem, you may want to contact acer and have them send you a replacement battery, but I don't think it'll help.
