Leaving the power adapter connected to the Duo, but not plugged in will
drain your battery and might mess up the power manager. I think there is a
capacitor (?) in the power supply which draws current from the battery.

Don't know if this is common knowlegde, but maybe it'll help someone:

I was told not to disconnect the Duo PS from the power line as long
as the Duo is still connected to it. Doing so would be one easy way
to kill the PS.

Connect the wall plug first and then the Duo, and DISconnect the Duo
first, then the 110V/220V.

Don't know if this is nonsense, an urban legend, or the truth. Apple
recommends exactly this order for plugging it IN, but doesn't mention
a proper procedure for disconnecting it. Any opinions?
