Should i charge my laptop while gaming?

DOPE · November 2018

Title says it all,well i when i play games i have my laptop charging,also i do have it when i'm watching netflix or when i'm just chilling.

The thing is that,if i charge my laptop while gaming/chilling will this make my battery life bad or it's ok to have it charged?

My laptop is Acer Predator 300

Thanks in advance!

Hi DOPE,
Ideally we recommend for the best battery life charge your computer fully and remove charger.
But ones in a while if while playing games you want to plug in the charger in order to avoid constant battery drain, it ok.
My recommendation is when battery fully charged , remove the charger use the battery alone.
Ones battery comes down to 20% charge it again.
Please let me know if this answers your question.

Well actually i play games daily so i need the best performance because i play games that requires the best fps(it's also games with very good graphics).
In order to get the best fps,i should plug my charger on it,but will this drain my battery?

I recommend always connected on A/C and discharge/charge (completely) the battery once every 3 months its enough if you are gaming do not play on battery the battery does not supply enough power for more demanding games neither the A/C this is the reason and purpose of the battery to aid the A/C with extra power when this one can't provide it and when fully charged it will stop charging unless you are playing a demanding game that would need to use that extra power kick

As i said in the post above i disagree with everything you said and the battery life wont be affected if you are always on A/C (just get battery bar pro and check yourself) as it's not charging what you said makes me realize you are not a gamer at all you only use the predator for easy tasks or really low demanding games if you were a real gamer you wouldn't be giving that advice at all no one here would advise to play games on battery

Well,i do play demanding games,i play pubg,blattlefield 1 sometimes,rust witch is a demanding game,but i dont know how laptops battery work at all. Because of that,i asked that question,i knew that when i was playing without battery i got max 50 fps,but when i have the a/c i have 100+,and they question was so nooby,because i wanted to full understand if there is any problem because i dont have the money to buy a new battery atm.

Thanks tho in advance,i really appreciate it!

Don't worry about the battery too much it will never overcharge when fully charged just stops charging it will only discharge if you play a really demanding game for a long time that the A/C can't provide enough power for the cpu/gpu apart from that it will always stay charged
