Laptops consume small amounts of battery power when in Sleep mode

How much battery does a laptop use in sleep or Hibernation mode

Question: I have a Dell laptop and when not in use I turn it off, but not at the mains. I assume that the laptop computer is still using power but I have no idea of how much. If I turn it off at the mains each night am I likely to damage it?

Answer: Don’t worry, laptops and notebooks are designed to operate independently of their mains chargers and it is perfectly safe, and good practice, to unplug them when not in use. Laptops do consume very small amounts of Asus A32-k52 Battery Power when in Sleep or Hibernation modes, but the battery easily meets this modest demand, and depending on its state of charge and condition should keep it supplied for days or weeks on end. Even if goes completely flat it will still boot up as normal when reconnected to the laptop power adapter.
