Battery wear level at 3% in 3 months in Predator 15 G9-593

It was at 2% last time I checked it. Is there anything I can do to reduce the rate of battery wear? I usually keep the laptop plugged it (read somewhere that modern computers stop charging once the battery gets to 100% thereby reducing the number of charge cycles).

Checked the wear level from HWMonitor.

When you first purchase your laptop you should do a manual Battery Calibration to increase its lifespan.

You do this by:
1. Charging laptop to 100%
2. Let battery drain to 20%
3. Repeat the above 3 times

Then leave the charger plugged in as much as possible and once every 3 months or so allow the battery to drain to 20% to maintain battery health.

If you do these steps now you won't regain the lost 3% but it will help for the future. Also the first 0-6% battery max loss is quite common in the first few years on a machine this powerful.

Hi,
It's not bad, you could try a battery calibration manually to get accurate readings, follow the instructions in the link below.

According to battery bar pro my battery wear on my G5-572 is 1.9% of 48,944mWh in 6 months always on a/c
