no argue with that, but you know, it might be a built-in feature. i mean, even if you see that the battery is full, in fact, it might be 80-85%, who knows!anyway, as you can see, when the battery is full, the battery stops charging. you can notice that by touching the charger. while charging, the brick is warmer that while battery is full. you can check this with batteryinfoview app.1

while battery is full, it does not take any current flow. otherwise, it will explode.

ACER CareCtr and/or QuickAccess have this feature for only a few models so far. As rich1974 implied, it is little more than a feel good option that has questionable value wrt battery health despite claims made by some. The embedded charge controller hardware encapsulated in the battery itself is arguably more important than any external software feature designed to force the battery to stop/start charging at random user controlled set points. Nonethess, as mentioned earlier, if you feel the need to control charge outside the limits built into the battery then keep checking for updates on your model.

pictures that prove that battery stops receiving any current flow after 100% charge.

Embedded battery controller and Windows automatically shuts down system below a critical charge level between 5-7%. Windows usually gives a warning to plug in battery at 10% charge level. Cycling a battery is usually good for maintaining design capacities especially when new. But a battery kept at or just below 100% is not harmful.

maybe, but in the moment when you want to take the laptop with you, you will have a laptop with 50% battery instead of 100%.

>>>But at least, keeping it at near 50% is better than keeping it at 100% right>>>No.
