That's scary.
I've been using my laptop 24/7 plugged into the mains.
Can you refer me to some documentation which details about it ?
I'm not sure how "significant" the degradation is. I almost never use my
battery, but I leave it in, even when plugged in. It's down to about a 1hr
charge (originally 3) after 2 years. But I've been told best practices
won't give you much more than a 3 year life span, anyway.
