battery

Hi A few months ago I had my Razer 15 battery replaced my a computer repair guy. Suffice to say, he overcharged me and clearly didn't do a good job - but that's irrelevant. The Issue: Most of the time, I have to plug in my laptop to use it. The battery reads "100%, charging", but when I...

I have my friend's Asus G751J which was a relatively unused hand-me down from this older lady who didn't need it. I'm not sure if it was refurbished because it used a Dell charger. Anyways, its main problem is that the display shows it's rapidly switching between Charging and Battery while...

Is there a distinguishable difference in battery life depending on what type of game controller you use for gaming on a laptop ?

If i leave my laptop turned on and plugged in 24/7, will this lead to damage, if no overheating is happening, and the temperatures of all components are normal? Should i expect damage to the battery and shortened life-span and durability of the battery?
