If I play a game on my new AN515-51-75KZ for a longer period of time, about two and a half hours or more, I have realized that the battery of my laptop will drop slightly (getting to around 90% of charge), even if the computer is conected to the AC, while using the CoolBoost technology for cooling.

I'm not familiar with gaming computers, but have found a few other cases where this is normal  for the Predator series of laptops or MSI products. I was wondering if this behavior is also common to the Nitro 5 series.

    The system is designed to draw power from the battery if the system demands exceed the AC adapter power rating. The system will resume charging the battery when the demands are below the AC adapter power rating. If your battery discharges below 30% while using the AC adapter and battery, access to battery power will be prevented until the battery charge is a@Lindblum
