Battery safety if unplugged only when off?

Framework Laptop 13
#1

So I know that it’s not good for a laptop battery for a laptop to always be plugged in to mains power. And I know that the Framework has a Battery Disconnect option in the BIOS for such a circumstance. My understanding is that if enabled, Battery Disconnect will be automatically disabled if you unplug the laptop?

But what about if the laptop is always plugged in while in use, and always powered off and unplugged overnight? Is that still bad for the battery?

It’s not to bad to have it plugged in with the newer batteries. Decent batteries have inbuilt circuits to stop overcharging.

However there is also the option to stop the battery even reaching 100% as you can set the max in the bios. That way you don’t have to worry about the battery getting pushed near it’s limits.
