Normal.


The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.



It would be detrimental to not exercise the battery, therefore The built in BHM does this for you, with the minimum cycle count... Let the software work for you.
