Hi!
I've read several posts, articles and forum discussions but couldn't come to a conclusion by myself. Recommendations are widespread and contradictory.
So, here is my situation. I've bought an Acer Aspire E5-576-5762 two years ago and roughly used it, but now I've been working hard on it and using it most of the time on battery. I charge it the following way:
1) Whenever the battery falls under 30%, I plug it.
2) Unplug when battery reaches 100% and then use it unplugged until the battery reaches 30%
I have the possibility to use my laptop plugged in once it reaches 100% (and use it as a desktop machine), but wouldn't this damage the battery?
Taking into consideration the recommendations I've read, my plan from now on is to change charging thresholds to 40% and 80% and follow 1) and 2) (charge when falls under 40% and charge up to 80% and unplug) as described above with such percentages (note that my Acer does not provide the option to automatically charge my battery with this thresholds through the Acer Care Center, would have to do it manually). However, I was wondering if anyone could help and give an opinion on what is better for the battery life. For your reference, attached you can find the battery report I run from cmd prompt.
Many thanks in advance for your support!
