Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

N95 Battery drains when plugged into PC

When I'm working I have my N95 plugged into my PC but, I have found that my battery drains quicker than when it's not connected to the pc.

Can anyone explain why this is or, do I have a problem with my N95?
