will the life span decrease if I overcharge my laptop battery

Jan. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- First it’s important to understand what overcharging is:
Over-charging occurs when the charger keeps the battery at a temperature that is warm to touch (body temperature) while in ready condition.

Li-Ion laptop batteries http://www.topbattery.com.au/dell/inspiron-1200.htm  have built-in controller chips which prevent it from

overcharging, as they can explode if overcharged. Overcharging does not affect the life span other than potentially destroying the battery.
