That's my doubt ever since I bought my notebook. Are there any negative effects to the battery if I keep it permanently connected to the main power supply?

In fact, I use my notebook on mid tier performance. I didn't change it at all until this very moment.

I remember that it have a negative effect ( I don't remember why), so when you are using the notebook connected to a power supply you have to unplugg the battery (to avid damage it) .And do you remember the old cadmium batteries , you have to fully uncharge them to avoid damaging it, but with the new Litium-ion batteries you have to uncharge until the 20% (max) or you could damage the batterie
That's the point. Nowadays I have my notebook using the battery's power until it reaches about 5%, and then plug it to the power supply to recharge. Dunno if it's totally safe, though...
Anyway, with high performance, how long the battery lasts until it reaches its critical?

Then what should I do about the battery if I use high performance? I don't suppose it'll last too long anyway...
just unplugg it
and connect it to the power suply ( that socket in the wall with three holes
)
That should do it... I guess. Even if the emulator's performance doesn't change a thing. xD
Anyway, thanks for your help, comrades.
Wikipedia says: "Lithium-ion batteries are common in portable consumer electronics because of their high energy-to-weight ratios, lack of memory effect, and slow loss of charge when not in use."
afaik it's not required to unplug the battery when the power supply is connected, because the battery does not get charged when its fully loaded - just tell me if i'm wrong
