A lot of people wonder if they should charge their laptop all the way to 100% or stop charging at 80%.
The real truth is that when you stop charging your laptop at 80%, the battery lifespan tends to last longer.
Frequently charging your laptop to 100% and leaving the charger plugged in can make the battery weak overtime.
If you are always charging your laptop to 100%, maybe it’s time you should start making adjustments.
Yeah… I can relate that sometimes the power supply is not stable and for that reason, many tents charge their laptop to 100%, and wish their laptop battery have an extra space to store power, but unfortunately, there is non.
If you need extra backup power to charge your laptop during power outages, maybe you should consider getting a laptop power bank, solar backup power, or generator.
Frequently leaving your laptop plugged in for a very long time after the battery is full can degrade the battery.
Best way to charge your laptop battery
One of the best ways to maintain your laptop battery health is the 20% to 80% rule.
Don’t let your laptop drain to 0% before charging it and unplug when it’s at 80% or immediately at 100%.
The reason why you should reduce charging your battery to a 100% frequently is because when the battery is full and it keeps charging, the adapter charger starts to puts a lot of stress on the laptop battery.
So… What Do you Recommend?
It is okay to charge your laptop to 100% sometimes, but not all the time, if you want your battery to last longer. Always try to keep it between 20% and 80%. Also, unplug it when it is full and don’t leave it plugged in for too long.
By taking care of your laptop battery, you can use your laptop for many years without problems!
