Shelf for laptop charging

[ComputersRules]

I have two laptops and a netbook I don't use often, I STILL USE THEM! Just not often, and I don't have much space in my office, so I have them stacked on a shelf, would it be safe to be charging them all stacked on top of each other? Is it bad for the batteries? Help would be appreciated, Thanks.

The concern would be heat buildup, especially for the notebook on the bottom of this. If the heat does build up, it can potentially damage the battery, or in rare cases cause a fire/explode/etc.

I would not recommend just piling them all up, and plugging them all in simultaneously.

There are commercial solutions for charging many laptops simultaneously, but they separate them each onto their own shelf. I would suggest that you do the same thing, with three shelves, all right above each other. You could also charge them vertically if that works better within your space constraints.

Well I don't have space, but yeah thanks for the solution.
