Is there any way to limit the percentage of battery power? For example charge the battery up to 80%

    RAID3R no and dont worry the battery will not overcharge just make sure you recalibrate it properly once every 3/6 months depending on usage completely let it discharge and recharge it repeat 3 times also keep checking your battery wear with either hwinfo or battery bar pro if more than 20% consider replacing its faulty the cells wont hold the designed capacity anymore also internal batteries if not properly maintained especially on gaming laptops will become faulty really fast make sure you dont use it on battery only if you need to only for emergency and light works always use it on AC at all times the battery main purpose its to help the adapter providing extra power when this one cant provide enough to the cpu/gpu was not meant to be used on battery on demanding works/gaming good ludck :)

    xapim thanks for the recommendations!
    You know, strange things, my laptop is a little over one year old, but AIDA64 shows me that the battery wear rate 20%, Is it normal? Considering that laptop works all the time from the power supply, every two months I do a calibration, the battery is completely discharged until it turns off the laptop. I did not change the settings in Windows of the % of the fully discharged battery, all settings are by default.

    I began to feel like I was doing something wrong.
    Maybe I don't need to turn off power laptop at night when is it off?
    And I don't understand, why the battery charge indicator is always blue and not goes out even when the battery is fully charged.

    One thing that I think I definitely did wrong is I didn't calibrate the new battery, I did it only after 2 months...

    RAID3R check with hwinfo if u get the same try recalibrating it and check again if it improved i have my G3-572 for more than 2 and half years always on ac 24/7 non stop since day one just serving as remote machine i had 15% last time i had calibrated and now i have 7.1% wear if yours doesnt improve consider sending it back to acer for a replacement assuming its still under warranty as i said without proper care/calibration internal batteries on gaming laptops become faulty really soon and the battery light will always stay blue after its charged if the adapter is connected it wont go off

    I checked with hwinfo it shows even more accurate info than aida, that battery wear is 20.4% percent  :'(

    xapim I will be very grateful to you, if you give me a small recommendation-instructionon how to calibrate the battery correctly.
    Maybe I need to change something in the default power setting in Windows before this?
