How to put 'Acer Predator Helios PH315-52' laptop in 'Battery Protection Mode' ?

Jithesh

Hi All,

I use my 'Acer Predator Helios PH315-52' mostly as a Desktop. Means I hardly unplug it from wall charger. My old Lenovo laptop used to have a setting called 'Battery Protection Mode' wherein the battery will charge only upto 60% when plugged in, to increase its life.

I don't see any such option in this laptop. It always charges to 100%. As other users pointed out in few other threads, when you switch of the laptop overnight and start it again next morning, anywhere between 1 to 12% battery will be discharged.

I am concerned about this constant discharge-recharge cycles. Since it always charges back to 100%, it will seriously impact the life of the battery. Any suggestions to avoid this?

Thanks,

Acer does not provide a battery charging lock. The current batteries are now smart and when they are 100% charged, the power supply to the battery is interrupted. Of course, it is possible for micro-charges to occur even when the battery is 100% charged, but it is not a problem that you need to worry about right now. What I recommend is that you disable the charging of the USB 3.0 port on the Acer Quick Access and also calibrate the battery every three months.
