Inspiron 7500 Battery
I have a 3 1/2 year old Dell Inspiron 7500. This machine is always plugged into the wall socket. I think I have run the pc on the battery alone for a grand total of 4 hours.
Question--Can the battery go Ka-Put even though the pc is always run off the adapter?
Thanks

Yes, a battery can go bad even if it has not been used. A trinkle charge will still go to the battery as long as it is in the system, which basically means that the battery will drop down a little to around 97% and then charge back up to 99 or 100%.
Thank you for choosing Dell.
