Yup. I have three laptops over there that I was given, waiting for me to do something with them. I'm in no particular hurry. The last laptop I used, left it plugged in all the time and eventually the battery deteriorated, something went wrong and it wouldn't charge up any more. After that I ended up with a "system board error" at which point I gave up on it.
