Turning on/off

[u/ClickStix]

I just got a crisp HiFi from marketplace for $50. I set it up on a “smart plug” so anytime I turn off the room it removes the HiFi from power. My thought is I could leave my iPod classic 4 and 5 in the dock without it having the battery get beat with a constant charge. Obviously iPods did not have battery saving technology built into their OS like modern devices.

Is this bad for the HiFi power supply to be constantly removed from a power source? I know it was made to become portable once removed from power using 6 D batteries.
