I bought a Chinatown battery for my Dell 17” Latitude E6530 and it came partially charged, Will it hurt leaving the power cord plugged in over night to get a full charge or can it over charge? it’s only a $30 battery so I’m not out much if I do it wrong but I’d rather ask a dumb question lol55775972-AA85-4546-B1BA-3D33A9B10F19.jpeg
 
A cpl days ago, well last Thurs I got an online permit while sitting on the couch drinking coffee, my printer that's not wireless is in another room so after filling in all the blanks for permit and paying I got to the part to print the permit, I unplugged the laptop and it went dead, the permit was already in the city bldg dept so I really didn't need the printed placard but some owners prefer to see it posted, the guy with the 70 Chevelle wagon said he got an email from Sunbiz so he knew everything was legit, I also had taken a screen shot and showed it to him, I left this plugged in over night, hope this bat lasts a good while, I'm sure all batteries are made in China anyway
 
FWIW, I can say for certain that at least with some laptops, leaving them plugged in to contunually charge them will destroy them. I only know that since I just destroyed one that I had for only two months. I bought it brand new. After it bit the dust I decided to look at the instructions :rolleyes: and lo and behold it said not to do that since it will damage the battery. It sure did to the one I had. The brand was Lenova. Not a very expensive model if that matters, ( about $550 and had a 15" screen ).
 
I think my Dell has been plugged since the day I bought it about 3 years. Only time it's not is when I bring it traveling.
 
So far this battery has decent run time, I only plug it in when it gets low enough and says to plug it in, recharge to full and unplug, so far so good
 
My Dell was a gift from my SIL that does something with precious metals from comp ??? for a living, it's used with Windows 10 installed, CORE i5 whatever that is?
 
All I have is a regular old PC I have plugged into the wall. I purchased a refurbished (Dell) unit they had available at Best Buy about 3 years ago. Nicely equipped.
I picked up a new Dell screen when I was there, that was better than I needed, but I didn't care. Hell, I don't even have a stupid cell phone.
