AI Customer ServiceWhile the PC is shut down but plugged in the power supply is actually still powering the BIOS chip instead of the battery, so unplugging the PC starts draining this battery. You shouldn't worry much about this, the battery has a pretty long life (years) and it is replacable, and resetting the BIOS is simple.
Unplugging an appliance from an electrical socket means that it no longer receives power from the wall.

You can still use these devices if they don’t have a battery or a backup battery (like some laptops).
The only reason to unplug it when you've turned it off is to help protect it from lighting strikes. And that's a very rare thing. Turning it off when not in use is probably a good idea in an area where power outages are common, though it's probably not really helping. It certainly won't hurt.
Many electronics continue to draw power even when not in use. Unplug devices like TVs, game consoles, and phone chargers to save electricity. 2. Is it necessary to unplug appliances when not in use? It is not necessary to unplug every appliance, but certain devices consume standby power.
The battery was at around 99%. So could be consuming battery power while the laptop is off? It depends on your laptop model and/or the power plan for battery as configured in your particular OS. But it could very well be passive discharging (or temporal capacity loss), too.
With that in mind, you might wonder if you should unplug everything you're not using to save money on your electric bill, including your device chargers. There's no sense in wasting time unplugging your chargers and plugging them back in every day if there is no net benefit, however, so naturally, it's worth testing.
