Can you Over charge a Laptops Battery?

[K i a r a]

eh, Hey

 

I don't know why, But was wondering if it is possible, Due to hearing it is possible to over charge a iPhones battery, and wonding if you could do the same with a Laptops battery..  

 

Laptop: Lenovo Y530 Legion.

It also has a 135v?.. Battery charger thing.

Any modern litho battery cannot be overcharged because they are protected by a controller. If they were they would blow up or catch fire.

No, unless you're using a charger that isn't mean for the laptop and supplies much higher voltage than the laptop is rated for.

You can't overcharge modern laptop batteries, they are protected.

Unplugging it is still good for battery longevity. No worries.

Most electronics' rechargeable batteries have protection circuitry that specifically prevents this, even with chargers not meant for the device. And despite what LTT reported a few months ago, it's likely they won't even fully charge the battery, but leave it slightly empty but still report basically 100% to help lessen degradation.

...and safer for sure. Even the original chargers can catch up fire.
