    Hi,
    You can't, just forget about trying to "optimize" the battery, when you plan not to use the laptop for a very long period (years) you can take the battery out and store it in a vacuum sealed bag in a cool place (that's what I do). All the hype you read about battery longevity, calibration and wear are myths not based on any scientific research/studies. Accept that new batteries deteriorate with time, used or not used, average lifespan is 4 years or if used 1000 full charge cycles, there are high quality batteries and refurbished/cheap batteries so buy from Acer and reputable stores only and check the manufacturing date. If you are still using Acer Care Center 80% battery charge limiting app, stop that and uninstall ACC including accSVC in Windows Services (disable that in Properties Startup type and also acc Agent). Leave the power adapter or USB-C charger plugged in 24/7 without affecting the battery as there is a Smart chip built-in that diverts the power to the motherboard after the battery has been charged 99.9%: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001587.htm
