Charging battery while using

[Toby789]

Hello. I'd like to know when I use the computer while it's charging, will the power be supplied directly into the system or still into the battery? Because if supplied directly into the system, that will help prevent the battery from downgrading quickly

The power supply will continue to charge the battery while you are using the notebook until the battery reaches it 100% charge limit.

So when the battery has reached 100%, will it send the power directly to the system or still charging the battery? Because I'm worried that my battery will downgrade fast, it's at about 50/100% already after only 2,5 years.

When the battery reaches 100% charge, the power adapter will no longer continue to charge the battery and will only supply power to the notebook.

What you need to do is to periodically unplug the charger from the battery so that it is not in a constant 100% charge state 24/7/365 or that may lead to battery swelling.

Thank you. By the way, is this good for a 804 times charged battery?

You're very welcome. 

I don't know how many charge cycles the battery can support.
