Question:

Is it ok to leave laptops charging with power cable?

Can i leave my laptop on the whole day and just turn it off at night? It has a standby mode but i dont no if thats resourceful. Also it has sleep and hibernate. Will leaving the power cord in be bad?

Answer:

most of the time, batteries will not be harmed by leaving them on charge. however the way most people use is shutting down the system turning off computer from start button. power cord left pluged in would not matter if system were shut down.
yes it will make the life of your battery shorter plug it in when it needs to be otherwise unplug it
No need to leave it plug in all night. You can do it the simple way and shut it down for the night. As for myself, I put mine to sleep during the night (unplugged of course) and causes me no problems.. but if you are unsure on what to do, just shut it down during the night and no harm will be done.
My laptop barely goes away from its power cable mainly because I don't travel that much. I've had my laptop for a year now, it's completely fine. Just turn it off at night so you don't run up your electricity bill dude.
