Hardware Charging and Wireless Switch

[altorn]

Hello, I've always wondered what is happening with the leds/status of the DS Lite when charging is complete.
Here's my question for charging on the 3DS:

When you charge, the RED LED lights up until it completes right?
When the system is ON and it is charging, the RED LED still lights up and shuts off when it's complete.
Now, when for example im playing a game, and charging completes while still plugged in, is the system still charging even if the RED LED shuts off?


For the wireless switch, if i switch it off, Internet, StreetPass and SpotPass wont work anymore or just the Internet?

Sorry if it's confusing but yeah

Modern batteries (or rather the devices the battery is charged with) have security systems to not be charged any more when full. They'll usually stop being charged when at 100% and won't resume charging until they're back down to 90% or the plug is pulled and put back in.

yeah because it's full.
so, if i just leave it plugged, it will wait til the battery drains a bit, then charge again, in a loop?

thanks!
