    Hi guys, got my R3 last week and after a fresh install on my OCZ vertex 2 SSD im loving this machine, its fast , reliable (so far) , quite ( can't even hear the fans working lol suprising compared to mis SXPS 1645) , so far is all good but i came to a tough wich i would like to ask you guys for some advise.
    I use my R3 as a replacement desktop, so it spends most of its time plugged to the mains,
    so my question is -
    Can i leave the batterie on the R3 without damaging it ,or shall i remove it while it's plugged in to the mains.

    Looking forward to see your replies.

    If you do a search on this forum, you will be able to find an answer to your query. There is no need to remove the battery from the system, doesn't make much difference if it is kept on a side or used in your system. Probably you will have a longer life (but not much), by keeping it in a cooler place at a aprox. 50% charge and use it sometimes...
