Pls provide us this option to limit battery charging to 80% - after reaching 80% , instead of using battery- Allow laptop to run only on AC power
this increases battery life dramatically - almost every manufacturer like dell, lenovo has this inbuilt in BIOS or software to do it even in their basic laptops
it hurts to see Acer not having this even in high end predator series laptops

    Even if the battery is being charged to full capacity that won't damage the battery. Under light load battery will stay at 100% and on heavy load the energy level will drop to about 80-90%, which is what you need.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
