    Balanced to High Performance power plans should work when gaming [I use balanced when gaming]. However, as a tip, gaming on a laptop is meant for occasions when the laptop is plugged into an outlet. Gaming while on battery will significantly shorten the life of the battery, and isn't something I would recommend.

    However, it's your laptop. Good luck and keep us posted with any updates

    You should be ok.
    I keep my battery in my laptop at all times, especially when gaming and connected to an outlet, and I haven't noticed any decrease in battery life.

    Maybe others can chime in here.

    The charge to the battery shuts off when it's fully charged. I had mine in all the time when I had my Qosmio. :D Great machine. ^_^

    This Alienware I switched to was a crap choice. >.<
