Hi all,
I have a question about the battery recommendations I found here: here. The page has the following advice:
Optimizing battery life
- Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for mobile use
Conditions that can adversely affect the battery
- Using the computer on constant AC power
These two obviously conflict and cannot both be true, so which one is correct? I have read that keeping the battery constantly charged at 100% can shorten it's life, however unplugging the AC power and putting the battery through more charge cycles will do this aswell. The optimum slution would be to have an option to set the maximum level at the battery charges to at a level less than 100%. Are there any BIOS or Windows settings, or a 3rd-party application that can make this possible? Thank you for any help, it's strange how hard it seems to be to find reliable information on this topic.
