Even if it's plugged-in, the power consumption is very minimal as it only trickle-charges the battery, so no overcharging.

October 25th, 2006 02:44 AM #7another reason to maintain it 24/7 e para iwas power surge kasi minsan nasisira din yung PC kahit naka-off pero nakasaksak naman dahil sa power surge...
what you can do is leave it 24/7 pag nakasaksak o kaya pag in-off mo na yung UPS, tanggalin mo na rin sa saksak...
