    i've had my hp zv6000 series notebook for about a month and its been plugged in the entire time. i've left my battery in it the entire time (while plugged in), is this bad? also recently my battery has been stuck charging on 99% and doesn't go to 100 but i've never unplugged it so i don't know why it's charging anyways. is this because it's losing space due to being kept in the laptop for too long?

    The battery stops charging once it is full. My ThinkPad sometimes gets stuck on 99% for a bit. I wouldn't worry about it.

    hmm... but see the problem is my computer has been on AC power the entire time but my battery has been in it too, so it shouldn't really be charging anyways because it's always been plugged in. so by 99% does this mean my battery is only 99% of original life? but the thing that's throwing me off is that my computer says it's 'charging'.
