And I haven't used it again since then. I wonder if I had left the battery in the charger for a few more hours, if the charger would have cooled down. I never noticed the batteries and Libretto getting that warm after a charge. But I don't know if I've really checked this. I usually just plug the lib into AC when I've used the battery a lot, and left it to charge. Has anyoone noticed the libbys getting as warm charging batteries as the charger does? > > 2.

I�m wondering if it�s okay NOT to have a battery in the charger, and leave the L50 plugged into the charger to keep it�s battery charging that way. I�ve always thought that it�s best to keep the lib plugged into power when not in use. Having only one AC adaptor for the past 8 months or so, and not keeping the L50 plugged in has made me wonder if I�m killing its battery.
