U31JG: Is it possible to overcharge the battery?

I just got my U31JG last night, and am wondering if it's possible to overcharge the battery on it.



With the battery plugged in and the AC adapter connected, the battery is at 100%. But does the battery continue to get charged continuously even though its at 100%?

The battery will charge to 100% and stop. After that if you unplug it, it will start charging again if the battery is lower than 95%.

Is there way to set the battery charge thresholds using one of the (many) pre-installed Asus utilities?



Thanks.

No, charging parameters are not user-revisable under any platforms.

And all batteries got built in sensors to monitor charge status 24/7 til the battery lives.

Reason they got more then 2 pin inside to connect, serial communication.



As far as I know no software way to change anything.
