Since I use my iBook on a table with a power supply nearby, I always use the power supply. And would once in a while operate my iBook on Battery say when I wanna show my friends my documents and stuff.
But I was wondering.
As with other wintel notebooks, plugging in the power supply with the battery in and fully charged for a long term would be detrimental to the battery. Thus shortening the lifespan of the battery (Eg. My cousin is an example. His batt on full charge now lasts 17 minutes tops)
So, would this be the same case for the iBook's or does Apple think about this and have a sort of cut-off preventing this(overcharging) from happening?
Anyone with knowledge on this could enlighten me?
Thank You.
Have a Merry Christmas to one and all.
