Battery health manager, let HP maximize my battery health

[User_06212022]

I have a doubt with the "let HP maximize my battery health" option. I know it will prevent my notebook from charging over 80% of its capacity when plugged in. Does this mean that when it gets to 80% it will consume energy from the charger? Or it will consume from battery?

Maximize my battery health setting:

This setting maximizes battery health by lowering the maximum battery charge level to 80%.

Select this option if the computer stays plugged in to the power adapter most of the time.

When this setting is selected, the battery charges until the charge level reaches 80%, then it stops charging until the charge level falls to 75%. While in this range (between 75% and 80%), the battery notification window shows that the battery is not charging.

Yes, I know that. The thing I'm not sure about is wether the computer consumes battery power when it reaches 80% charge or if it uses the power from the charger

In conclusion, energy will still pass through the charger to power the computer when battery reaches 80%, making so the battery doesn't perform many useless recharge cycles.

Doing otherwise would not make sense...

Good luck to you and your battery 😎
