INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that charging a laptop continuously reduces the lifespan of its lithium-ion battery?
Unclear. Several sources indicate that high state of charge and higher charge voltages stress lithium-ion cells and shorten cycle life, and that charging strategies can accelerate degradation. None directly tests whether leaving a laptop plugged in continuously reduces its battery's lifespan.
