Product: EliteBook 845 G8
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi everyone!

 

My HP EliteBook 845 G8 is connected to Dell D6000 docking station. I have 2 concerns:

 

1) Is it OK for the battery to have a laptop powered via USB Type-C port 100% of the time instead of original HP power adapter (the dock can provide 65 watts output) ?
2) Is it OK to have a laptop lid closed 100% of the time (I use external monitors instead) ?

 

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

Hello

 

yes to both questions but for battery, install HP Power manager and enable "Maximum battery health".

 

bye
