It’s not really a risk- it stays plugged in all the time…except on the rare occasion when it doesn’t. ;-)
I’m surprised there isn’t some kind of fail-safe that starts a graceful shutdown at 10-20% if it’s been in sleep for >x hours. Taking a LiPo to 0% is terrible for the pack; most devices have some sort of fail safe against this kind of battery stress.
Isn't keeping it plugged in all the time really bad for the battery? It should stay between 30 and 80% iirc.
Iirc the SD does discharge from full battery a bit when plugged in for a while to preserve battery health.
It lets the battery discharge to 90% while plugged in. If you’re not using it for a few days you should still unplug.
