Anyone know if the battery capacity of the gamepad will deplete over time if you leave it plugged in even while it's fully charged? Just wondering if it's safe to charge overnight.
Possible to overcharge Wii U gamepad?

It should be okay. But you should know that every battery, no matter how good it is, gets depleted over time. A good battery should last at least 500 charges.

It does generally wear them out quicker if you leave them plugged in all the time rather than let them drain to low then charge them back up.
However I see no point worrying about it as if you DON'T leave it on charge then it will run out quicker today, due to discharging when not in use. So all you are doing is avoiding the battery having a reduction in capacity in the future, by making it have a reduced capacity today by not keeping it charged. What is the gain exactly?

It's actually letting batteries drain to 0% that wears out them quickly.

I leave my Wii U Gamepad always in the charging cradle. Don't notice a difference.

This question is back again.
It's fine.
It would help if the forums had a functioning search tool.

It does. It's just hard to use.

Actually I think thats only Lithium Ion batteries. Is the gamepad Li-on? I don't know.

If you're like me and you haven't used it for a week then try using it and the last time you used it it had like full battery, it would be dead...
Add me on Wii U if you want to settle it in Smash

Hard in that it's still broken from some phantom thing feld0 did about 3 weeks ago.It does. It's just hard to use.

you cannot over charge it, it will take as much power as it needs.
