ACER NITRO 5 LIMIT POWER USAGE. while playing games it dies in like 1 hour or less.

Hexo75

Hello, I have a question, i bought the laptop thinking it won't discharge while being plugged in, but it discharges ofc dont make a fool of me i havent bought it ever but while playing games it dies in like 1 hour or less. IT has strong hardware such as rtx 4060 which is obviously too strong for the battery and I was thinking if its possible to limit the power od thé hardware or gpu and cpu by some amount of % so it can last atleast 2 hours but not by the windows battery saver cuz there are only 3 options And those first two just get 20 fps And the one that gives the most power JUST drains battery really Fast. So if theres a possibility to reduce the power but just not by 50% so it can still be playable.

You Need to keep laptop plugged in while gaming. Modern gaming laptop has powerful GPU/CPU and they need electricity to run properly. Playing game on battery will shorten battery life. It is recommended to keep laptop plugged in all time and do battery calibration after some months to keep battery healthy.

Letting battery discharge and charging again and again will only damage battery life. When battery reaches 100% it directly connected to AC Adapter instead of Battery.
