    hi i was wondering about the battery and proper power and charging question.

    is it good or bad for the battery to keep the thing plugged in for days at a time?
    What i mean is if i don't take the system out of the house for say a week then i will usually jsut keep it plugged in and hooked up to the tv and plugged in all the time.
    But is this healthy for the battery or is it better to unplug it after a full charge and then plug it back in to charge it when it needs it?

    thank you

    I'm going to hijack this thread and ask: my XPS 12 automatically reduces my laptop performance when it's below 20% battery (or around there). How do I stop this?
