No, in fact it causes a battery to have a shortened life span =- typically laptop batteries only last 15 to 18 months with daily uses and good recharge practice -
I ran a laptop Program at a large University and saw nearly everything that can happen to a laptop -
most vendors only warrant batteries for one year,
cheers
