I would appreciate your expert advice on the following questions:
- Battery Health: Is it normal for the laptop's battery capacity to decrease by almost 40% within two years, given that I have completed approximately 800+ charging cycles? What factors contribute to this reduction in battery capacity, and is there anything I can do to prevent such significant decline in the future?
- Battery Optimization: Could you provide some best practices to maintain my laptop's battery health? For example, should I avoid shallow discharges, and how often should I perform full charge and discharge cycles? What charging levels are considered optimal to minimize stress on the battery cells and prevent overcharging?
- Bypass Charging: As I use my laptop continuously for work and keep it connected to a power source all the time, I'm interested in the concept of bypass charging. Can you explain how it works and whether it's a viable option for extending battery life? Are there any potential risks or warranty implications associated with this approach?
- Overheating and Fan Noise: I have noticed my laptop occasionally overheating, accompanied by high-speed fan noises. How can I reduce overheating issues and ensure proper cooling for the laptop's internal components? Are there specific power settings or other measures I can take to optimize performance while minimizing background processes that may contribute to overheating?
