Q: What factors does SCE take into consideration before scheduling an outage? A: Although planned outages are generally shorter in duration and affect fewer customers than unplanned outages, SCE recognizes that any outage is inconvenient. Our objective is to minimize the impact that outages have on our customers.
Yes, you can play while its charging. However, your laptop will get hotter while playing and it will reduce the battery's life in time. Also if you have an integrated battery, you won't have to worry so much.You can set your battery plan not to sleep when you close your laptop lid.f you have your battery pluged in, using your laptop and charging it at the same time you will decrease the battery's life to half or more in 4 to 6 months. My advice to keep your battery for longer time is to unplug it if you are at home or somewhere similar you can use your charger.
The reason they say to do this is because laptop batteries lose their charge over time and they don't know how long the battery sat in a warehouse prior to being used. All laptop batteries contain electronics in them that prevent over charging once the battery reaches 100%. If the battery has sat for a long period of time the calibration of the laptop battery's remaining power estimate will be off and could stop the charging battery before it is completely fully. This is why most instruction manuals say to charge over night to 100% then run it down to 5%-10% and then charge it again.
