New Nitro AN515-55 Owner - Smart Charging App available? (Win 11)

TommyBee

Howdy
New to Acer, new Nitro AN515-55 to Windows 11. In the olden days (last week) I had an app on my Lenovo that would keep my battery charged to about 60% - while plugged in. Microsoft Windows 11 docs say that each mfg creates their own "smart charging" app to preserve the strength of the lithium battery by not charging to 100% all the time. Since I primarily use it plugged in, I am asking the question DOES SUCH AN APP EXIST IN THE ACER WORLD? I have scanned all the docs and see no mention. Any recommendations? Other than plugging and unplugging the charger... thanks

Hi @ TommyBee

Clicking the battery icon brings you to the Windows 11 Settings menu (System > Power and battery), which informs you that smart charging is on and provides a hyperlink to a support page that offers more information

If it's supported it is more likely to be in Nitro Sense instead of Acer Care Center. Since the Nitro line of laptops is designed for gamers though it wouldn't be unusual for that feature to not be implemented.
