Hi
I use BSNL Home 500 BB plan..so i dwnld a lot from 2-8 am .
Actually im not awake till 2 evry night coz i've set up all the automations like auto connect, automatic booting at 2,router restart etc.
So i go to sleep at 12 am but keep the power plugged in after hibernating my laptop.
So its switched off and plugged into mains for around 1.5 hrs..
So i wanna know will that have any effect on the battery life?? I also read at many sites that the lithium ion batteries and the chargers of today have a cut off mechanism that automatically cuts off the power supply after 100% charging and only keeps it at around 100% charge from time to time..
So please clear my doubts regarding all this...
