Hello,

I recently bought an Hp probook 460 g11 and i want to turn on smart charging- to keep my battery charging to 80%.

I can not find the option anywhere. Can you please help?

 

Also, if you could tell me what is the best method for maintaing a healthy battery in the long run? Having it on charger at all times, using it unplugged or what? 

 

Thank you

Hi @Mmdancer ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Good to see you are trying to achieve long battery life .

 

Deep discharges cause cell wear and tear. So, we have to make sure charge the battery to 50-60% and then power the laptop completely off (not sleep/hibernate) before storing it and ensure the bottom of the laptop and the air vents are always clear (use a desk or a cooling pad.

 

So your question was Enabling Smart Charging in windows.For your HP ProBook 460 G11, the feature to limit charging to a maximum percentage (like 80%) is typically called "Battery Health Manager" or "Battery Optimizer" by HP.

These settings are usually not found in Windows but are controlled directly within the computer's BIOS/UEFI firmware.

 

Here is the step by step tutorial to enable it at bios level.
