Laptop explodes while charging at Letchworth business
> Now Steve wants to warn the public about the dangers of LiPo batteries if left on charge for a substantial amount of time.I've also occasionally heard recommendations from people to not leave devices charging because it may potentially wear out the battery prematurely.  This may be a myth.  But I always wonder -- why would the charging circuit not moderate the charging and mitigate such risks?  Why should I as a user be responsible for providing just the right amount of charging?
