I've gotten a new laptop and I want to download something, I can leave it without breaking anything overnight (infected)
Do that often… Never had any problems.
My laptop has been infected overnight for almost 2 years every day.
The battery will thank me, but even that has enough capacity.
Sometimes I disconnect the power to discharge it deliberately.
Sure it works.
This usually works a few weeks in a row.
Mega for the battery is not that, but you can do it schonmal.
