Can you disable the battery or not allow it to charge even if it is pluged in?

Can you disable the battery or charging function even if the laptop is pluged in to a power outlet? Is there any internal switch?

Your battery will remain healthy - and discharge a bit - even when you're plugged into mains. If you're going to run primarily of mains, you should disconnect your MBP about every two weeks and allow it to drain down to about 30-40% and then allow it to recharge - this will keep the ions in the battery 'moving'.
Most of the time you just needn't worry about the battery - just use it thoughtfully.

  • Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number.

    Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number. When my phone is locked I keep calling it when the phone is in my pocket.
    Even if I could change the number that would help but I think 911 is starting to hate me.

    Hi Evtek,
    I'm afraid that there does not appear to be any way to disable the autocomplete of the LabVIEW combo box.  If this is a real problem the best suggestion I could give you would be to try the .net combo box.  This does allow you to disable the autocomplete mode although obivously the programming would be slightly more complex than the built in combo box.
    Otherwise you could use the update value on every key and use a different event to trigger the movement or if it isnt the enter key that is pressed do nothing in the event case.

  • Can you disable the home button?

    My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason.  Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

    http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
    Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
    Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
    Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
    Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
    And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
    This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

  • Can you display the battery strength in numbers on home screen like you would for the signal?

    I know you can view it at the option/status arena, but can you change the battery strength display at the home screen to numbers like you would on the signal?

    BatteryPercent = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
    LabelField Label1 = new  LabelField();
    Label1.setText(""+BatteryPercent+"%"); 
    you can use the above code to display battery percent

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

  • Can you disable the DSL modem on 837 Router

    Hello is there any way to turn off / disable the DSL modem on the 837 router?   I have shutdown the ATM0 interface but the modem is still trying to train up.  I'm trying to disable it as I am now using an external modem with PPPOE.

    Hi Jeff,
    Hmm, there does not seem to be any command that would deactivate the modem. I do not have such a router handy though - can you enter the global config mode and try writing the controller ? command including the question mark? Is it recognized? If yes, does it allow you to refer to either the ATM or a DSL interface? If yes, try entering the mode provided by the controller command, and use shutdown to deactivate it. As I said, though - I am not sure if this command is supported on your platform. Perhaps try entering the service internal command as the very first command before trying playing with the controller - this hidden command in the global config unlocks some of other hidden features.
    In any case, do you have any problems with the modem still running? I understand it is kind of irritating to know that the modem continuously stays up and tries to bring up the link. Then again, it shouldn't do any harm...
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Can you disable the mute button your ear does not mute your phone conversations?

    My ear or face keeps muting phone conversations inadvertently. Is there a way to disable the mute button?

    The proximity sensor above the earpiece should turn the screen off when the phone is placed near your ear.  If you have a case, remove it and see how it works.

  • Can you Disable the ability for Users to Register Themselves on Help Desk?

    I researched but could not find the answer to this.
    I did find the "Do not allow users to edit profile" but I could not find where you can take away the ability for a user to Register at the help desk.
    Meaning I want to be the only one able to create "End User" accounts. I will then give them their information.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
