Battery question

[nshaw]

Just quick question, will you guys recommend to remove the battery while using AC? thanks

No. Never.Jamas.

Absolutely NOT on this series of machines. The charging circuit cuts off when the battery is charged fully. There is no worry of overcharging the battery and damaging it for that reason -- and there is little other reason to consider removing the battery while on AC.

Further, the battery provides a very useful buffer for the operating system in case of AC power disruption (transient or otherwise).

I would strongly advise *against* removing the battery while on AC line power.
