15s-eq1117au laptop battery auto-stop when reached 80%

Good day!

Just want to know if HP laptop has this kind of feature wherein if you reached 80% while plugged, it will auto stop?

It always going full charge every time I plug it. Is it safe?

@c26reagan Here's all you need to know about using an HP Smart Adapter and testing it, if need be: click here for details,

That said, you can leave the charger/adapter connected at all times, it doesn't affect the battery in anyway, as the charging auto-stops at 100%, however, if its stopping at 80% there could be something wrong with the battery, here's what I suggest you do:

Unplug the charge, Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.

Reinstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager:

1) In the search box, type and open “Device Manager”.

2) Expand “Batteries”.

3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

4) Click on “Uninstall”.

5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver

6) Shutdown the computer.

7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. (Skip this step if you have a non removable battery)

8 - When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.

9) Go to Device Manager.

10) Expand Batteries.

11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.

12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"

Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
