I want to charge my dead battery for school tomorrow, but have heard mixed reviews about leaving it plugged in over night.
Its a new macbook if that helps.
I usually just charge it when i use it, or, leave it, and when i notice its charged, i take it off.
Is it really harmful to the battery to leave it charging all night?
Cheers.

Have a peek at the following article, this came out about a month ago. I know at work, we had some IBM T43 that were affected by this.
"Lenovo, which purchased IBM's PC group in May 2005, obtained the LAX ThinkPad, and the early stages of an investigation by its engineers in Yamato, Japan, have determined that the pack contained Sony battery cells of the same type that have been involved in overheating incidents and fires reported by Dell and Apple, Ray Gorman, a Lenovo spokesperson, told eWEEK."
