Product: Victus By HP 16.1 Inch Gaming Laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello. I have ''Adaptive battery optimizer'' enabled in BIOS but was wondering if I can leave my charger plugged in while gaming even though the battery is at 100%. Ideally I would love to limit the maximum capacity to 80% but from what I understand such function does not exist. Will I damage my battery more by doing this, or is ''Adaptive battery optimizer'' good enough for this?

 

Any help is Appreciated!

Hi:

 

Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to constantly leave your notebook plugged in.

 

That is because when the battery is in a constant high state of charge it may swell.

 

The adaptive battery optimizer should help mitigate the problem, however.

Just look at the many posts regarding swollen batteries...

Once a month, I run the notebook off the battery only and let it discharge to the low battery warning.

 

Then I plug it back in and charge the battery again.
