The following is copied for the above site:
"NOTE: If you mainly use your ThinkPad as a desktop replacement,
your battery will have a constant charge of 100%. This will negatively
affect the performance of your battery. It would be better to use battery

power."
Question: Does anyone make a plug to fit in the Battery Bay
to protect it from dust, cookie crumbs, etc. while the battery is
removed? Any suggestions?
TIA ... John
