Is it really possible to overcharge your battery? I frequently use my Toshiba T1000SE using AC power while the battery recharges at the same time. Once the battery gets a full charge, I thought it no longer draws power. Am I harming my battery if the unit is off, the AC adaptor is attached, and the battery is installed? ----- brian@ankh.ankh.ftl.fl.usa -- ----- brian@ankh.ankh.ftl.fl.usa
