minicar: I just bought a mini laptop but I haven't opened it yet because it's supposed to charge 9 hours with the battery. When I open it will it be okay if I just use the power? Is it bad for the battery taking it out?Is it better using my mini laptop without battery?then leave it to charge for 9 hours. that will happen in a jiffy. though it does not hurt the battery or the laptop if u remove the battery and use the laptop directly.Is it better using my mini laptop without battery?In an ideal world leave it 12 hours but in the real world go ahead but leave it plugged into the wall socket, dont try to use it on battery power alone until after a good long charge and then some!
