Using the laptop while charging, and keep using even when fully charged

[Faizo]

Hi,  Can I use my laptop while charging it, and keep on using it while plugged in even when it is fully charged to 100%? Mine is built-in batetry.

Yes you can. Try not to let charge drop below 15-20% but the rule is if AC power is available use it and if not use the battery. No special tricks just use it and enjoy it.

Does the end of your DC jack look like this??? "With the center pin???"

Hi @REO51ST, yes it is similar like that.

That means you have a SMART AC adaptor.

The adaptor and the computer communicate with each other threw the center pin to regulate the charging of your battery.

You would want to calibrate maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

There is not much for you to do.

HI @REO51ST, thanks for your feedback. This means that I can use my laptop while charging it, and keep on using it while plugged in even when it is fully charged to 100%? Am I correct?

@Faizo

You are correct.

When the battery is fully charged the SMART AC and the computer will stop the charging process.

It saves and extends the battery life.
