[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1389530, member: 110816"] It is true that battery designs in most consumer devices prevent overcharging. This is done through configuration of a taper value that allows the charger to know when the battery is fully charged and that is no longer a problem. The issue however is that if a system with a battery is used with power always plugged in, the battery doesn't get a chance to go through the normal discharge/charge cycle that it would go through and in a short enough time is actually unable to retain a charge off the wire.. All batteries have a number of cycles through which they will return to near 100% of charge, but after that number is exceeded, they will only retain up to 80% of charge and begin to dwindle down from there..
