Battery on the victus 16

[Raynay26]

Hello,

I bought the Victus 16 gaming laptop a few days ago. I have assumed that I can charge this on the go via usb c port. However, this does not work with any of my cables, plugs or power banks.... What do I have to pay attention to or does charging via usb c not work on my device?

I also use the laptop a lot at home. I was faced with the question of whether I should leave the laptop on the charger all the time and/or whether I can adjust the battery charge to 80%. (I've heard that this is supposed to be better for the battery)

I hope the community can help me 🙂

If your device was delivered with a power adapter that uses a plug/to press into a connector/header on the device use that.I suggest that you do not assume that you can use something other than what you were provided with in the box to charge your notebook with.

A laptop is not a desktop PC. Leaving it on the power adapter as if it were is not such a great plan. Doing that can have detrimental effects on the service life of the battery.

It is said that 80% is a good setting to use, but I have had great success with leaving it at 100%.

If your notebook has the battery care feature you can find it in the BIOS settings.

My laptops have always lasted me 3-5 years before I have needed to change out the battery with a new one.
