Hey, see the image above.
To the point, I opened HWInfo today, and stumbled upon this.
The battery wear level is 17.9%, which I don't think is good.
I use my laptop with charger plugged in only during gaming, with Smart Charing on and Limited to 80%. I play games like 25-26 hours a week and other than that it's just casual work like surfing, coding, yt, etc. all too on Eco Mode with Low Power Efficiency(WinSettings), even as I write this post it is on the aforementioned settings.
I last unplugged my device, after charging it to 80% like 20 minutes ago and it is already at 56%.
I got my hands on the laptop on 05, October 2024. So it is like only 3 months and 10 days old.
Also with this, I'd like to ask,
- is charging cut OFF, like disabled, once the battery reaches 80%? i.e. the power from AC Adapter bypasses the battery straight to the components.
- If not then, while gaming, should I ensure the battery is already at 80% to ensure bypassed power to components instead through the battery to ensure minimal battery wear?
- If none of the above, then is it possible that Acer will soon release a BIOS update or Software update to implement this?
14 minutes have passed since I wrote about the battery percentage and right now the battery is at 48%.
Please ask, if any more information is required.
