Is it bad to charge the battery when it is full?

^Titlte^
Im using a 2012 13 Inch MacBook Pro. I play WoW and Diablo on it, while I do, I keep the charger in it. Is it bad for the computer if the battery is full and the charger is in?

Not at all. The battery and charger have built in circuitry that prevents damage if the battery is full when the charger is plugged in. That said, it's good to run down your battery to about 15 or 20% now and then just to keep it working properly.

    I remember buying a bluetooth earpiece and I had to do that in order get the most out of the battery due to the memory it has or something like that..
    are macbooks the same??

    I agree. I HATE having to wait for the battery to charge on my new Palms and Macs before using them - I guess GOD teaches us patience in strange ways (hee, hee).

    A lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

  • How smart is my mac? can use the AC adapter as a main power source and not charge the battery when its fully charged?

    does my mac use the AC adapter as the power source when its plugged in and the battery is full? is it smart to enough to split?

    The charging circuit charges until the battery reaches 100%, then shuts down the charging and goes to powering mode.  When the battery charge trickles down to 93-95% the charging circuit starts again and tops up the battery.  Will continue to operate like that if you leave it plugged in.  Keeping it plugged in does not harm the battery or risk overcharging.

  • HT1476 when is it best to charge the battery, when it is completly dead, almost dead or at any time you want a full chargre?

    When is it best to charge your battery for and Ipot touch 4th generation? when it is completly dead, almost dead, or any time you want full charge.

    Letting the battery completly drain is not that good. Otherwise, just charge when you want.

  • IPhone: how to charge the battery when in Europe.

    I'm going to Germany for 6 months, and I will most certainly be taking my iPhone. The only thing I'm not sure about it is will I need a Power Converter Adaptor to plug into the wall with a Plug Adaptor? Or will I only need to use the Plug Adaptor?
    Someone told me that the iPhone has the capability to automatically switch over the power conversion from US to European without the Converter Adaptor Plug, so that I only need a plug to fit the German Sockets.
    Can anyone clear this up for me? I don't want to fry my iPhone!

    And if you want to be really cool -- you can get the Apple international adapter kit from the apple store and just slip on the appropriate plug right onto your charger brick -- I have a set that I use constantly, and they interchangeable on the iPod/iPhone charger brick, as well as the Macbook, Macbook Pro, and other charger bricks as well. Very handy.

  • New MBP a lemon laptop won't charge the battery

    I received my new Macbook Pro 15.4 2.4 ghz this Monday, I was very excited except for when I notice that the laptop was not charging the battery when I had it plugged in. I took out the battery to see if it would stay on and if it had anything to do with the charger but it didn't the laptop stayed on. Under the Profile it even said it wasn't charging and it has never been charge. I knew something was wrong. So I made an appointment for the next day to go the Genius Bar since it's close to where I work. They took a look at it and recommended I exchange it for a new Machine since it's still under the 14 day policy and not to mention I've only had it for a day. So I called 1 800 my apple and setup for an exchange. I'm waiting from apple an email for a shipping label, once they have my tracking I will receive my new unit again. Though I'm upset about my laptop not being able to charge I hate to have to wait again for another laptop. I'll keep you all posted if anyone is interested. I hope the next one works without any problems.

    That ***** - I am waiting for mine to come. I hope mine doesn't have that problem.

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    It talks extensively about charging in the user guide, and how USB ports on PCs and older Macs may not provide sufficient power to charge the iPad.  The user guide is available for free from the iBook store (accessed directly via the iPad iBooks app).
    My iPad charges fine when plugged in to the back of my iMac, but I would always prefer to use the mains adaptor to save the strain on my USB circuits (which can wear out if used heavily to power external devices).

    I bought a new ipad2 yesterday and charged the battery and then expected to get going with it but the screen only displays an image of a ubs connection with an arrow pointing to a itunes symbol.  I downloaded itunes on a PC and plugged in the ipad to it but nothing changed on the PC or ipad.  very frustrating.  anyone else experience this or have know how or ideas to help me?

    Here is my standard reply, some of which may have no relevance to your situation.  Start with trying different USB ports, even a numbe of times.
    1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
    4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
    7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
    8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
