It's very much frowned upon.
You only want the laptop battery to be the only thing powering the laptop, any extra voltage could cause a problem and might brick the PCM.

If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
Thank you very much for the info. I was wondering about all these warning and wanted to confirm it before I make rookie mistake.
I used a cigarette to laptop converter to charge my laptop while logging and burned out some kind of chip on my interface. I know that's not exactly what you're looking to do, but I would caution any sort of charging of the laptop while using HP Tuners.
I always thought it was just people being paranoid.. but apparently not

I appreciated for you answer and sorry for your lost. That is the reason I ask this question here. I guess making sure laptop battery is fully charged is the most important thing.
