Is it harmful to overcharge laptop's battery? If it is , then why?
Overcharging is the process of continuously charging a battery beyond its maximum capacity. It is harmful for laptop batteries because it causes excessive heat, which can damage the battery cells and reduce its overall lifespan.
Some signs that a laptop battery is being overcharged include the battery becoming excessively hot, the battery not holding a charge for as long as it used to, and the battery losing its capacity to hold a charge over time.
While it is possible for a laptop battery to explode due to overcharging, it is a rare occurrence. However, overcharging can cause the battery to malfunction and potentially lead to a fire.
The best way to prevent overcharging your laptop battery is to unplug the charger once the battery is fully charged. You can also use a power management feature on your laptop to limit the amount of charge the battery receives.
Leaving your laptop plugged in overnight is not recommended as it can lead to overcharging and potentially damage the battery. It is best to unplug the charger once the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.
