    Hi all i have the toshiba a305-s6916 and wanted to know if its bad to charge the battery while im using the laptop. I tend to use the battery to surf and stuff and when i decide to use a game or need more performance ill usually take out the battery and plug into the wall and later letting it charge for a few hours but my question is can i still plug it into the wall and charge the battery while im using it i know it takes longer but if im on it for 3 hours id like to be able to charge battery while im using it as well rather than use it 3 hours then put it away for 2-3 hours while it charges and not using it

    thoughts? is this bad or ??
