Although we are Xi to leaving our laptops plugged in and fully charged, doing so may have a negative impact on battery life and performance. Today, we're going to talk about why it's best not to be fully charged all the time for a notebook and give you some advice to make your battery last longer.
A full charge for a long time may damage battery life: Laptops generally have lithium-ion batteries, and this kind of battery is not very friendly to long periods of full health. Once the battery is fully charged, continuing to power generates heat, which can cause the chemicals inside the battery to break down and damage, shortening the life of the battery.
The discharge cycle contributes to battery health: To keep your battery healthy, give it a regular break to let it drain from full health to low battery. Doing so can help the battery maintain its capacity and performance. If your laptop is plugged in all the time, the battery capacity may gradually decrease and the usage time will be shortened.
Partial charge and discharge help with battery calibration: Occasionally partially discharging and charging the battery can help calibrate the battery and allow it to show the remaining charge more accurately. If the battery is full for a long time, it may cause the battery indication to be inaccurate, and you will think that the battery is sufficient, but it will soon run out of power.
There are also benefits to using batteries in moderation: While it is not recommended to leave the battery to full all the time, there are some benefits to using the battery once in a while. For example, when you're out and about and can't plug it in, the battery can give you backup power. In addition, moderate use of the battery can also give its charging and discharging functions a workout, which helps to maintain the health of the battery.
While we're Xi to keeping our laptops plugged in and fully charged, doing so may shorten battery life and performance. To make the battery last longer, we recommend giving it a short vacation at regular intervals to allow it to discharge from full health to low battery, and use the battery in moderation. This can help keep the battery healthy, improve performance and longevity. Remember, if the battery is healthy, the laptop will stay with you longer!
