(b) The electrical outlet is independent of the computer. We cannot tell why a prior person put in a 3 pin outlet. That is maybe all they had or could get - not good practice. (c) The battery should really be replaced right away. I hope this clarifies for you. | |

I am looking for further clarification on how battery is still able to hold that much charge and why using an outlet for which ground pin is just for show(the slot is there just for 3 prong plug compatibility) does not harm battery. | |
