    The only drawback is that it limits the time you can play heavy power demand games when both PSU and battery must work together to meet power demands. Limiters don't do much for the battery except make the users feel better.  :)

    Yes it is safe, the GPU and Processor will just throttle automatically when it "sense" that the unit is very hot.

    Hi @maiz97,

    It's okay to leave your battery plugged in while gaming, and no, you cannot overcharge the battery. Modern gaming laptops use either Lithium-ion (Li-ion) or Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries and have an internal circuit that stops further charging once the battery is 100% fully charged.
