Battery Charger

I have the Dell Inspiron 5402 laptop.

Is it okay to keep it plugged in?

Is there some reliable source (perhaps yourself) that can answer my question.  I get different answers when I check.

Thanks,

Jerry

    It is not a good idea to keep a battery on continuous charge, no -- some systems allow cutting off the charge at a certain percentage, which is a good idea.

    That said, a four year old system like this one likely has a battery that's on the down side of its life cycle - if it's lasted this long, any change at this point likely makes little or no difference.
