Should we use our laptops plugged in all the time? Triton 300

Slayerhoghill

Do we need to plug in all the time? I googled how we are supposed to use our laptops and it showed mixed response. Some pages say that continuous charging reduces battery life and some say continuous charge-discharge cycle reduces li-ion battery life. Also the manual doesn't describe it quite clearly. It says use ac input whenever possible. So just wanted to confirm.

P.S.-I use predator triton 300

Hi,
No problem, yes, using it always connected to mains will not affect the  battery life, I have been using my laptops almost like Desktops and never a battery died in them, every 3 or 6 months I use them on battery only, then I continue to use them connected to AC adapter.

Slayerhoghill definitely a big yes not only you can but you should always use it on AC  here 2 years non stop 24/7 on AC never had a single issue and only have about 9.5/10% battery wear also its advisable you calibrate your battery once every 3 months or so (as it was advised above by @brummyfan2 ) let it completely discharge and recharge to full repeat 3 times and happy gaming

Hi,
You can use the laptop while connected to mains with AC adapter as long as you like, it will not damage the battery life, there's a built-in mechanism to protect the battery, once the battery is fully charged it will stop charging the battery.

thanks for the reply but i knew that much that its built-in mechanism will make it stop charging once its fully charged but still it will be almost fully charged...so for that will it be good for the battery?
