how to limit laptop battery charging to 80% ?

[NL81]

I understand this has been discussed, but i see no option in laptop model that i have. why cant HP designed a program to allow all models to stop charging at 80% instead of just program for business notebook?

Lenovo and Asus have their own program for all of their models.

the battery of my laptop is already reducing and now full capacity is at well below actual capacity as i always have my laptop plug in (using as desktop) and charging to 100%.  surprised that HP is well behind in this.

maybe someone can advice third party program i can download to manage this?

help please !!

@NL81,

Check to see if your laptop has the latest BIOs update. See: HP Laptop - 15s-eq1510na Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Customer Support).

Please see if your BIOS has the "Battery Care Function" option under System Configuration and if it does, set it to 80%.

Or if "Battery Care Function" is absent, follow the steps to change the battery care function:

1. Turn off your laptop, and then connect the power cord if it is not already connected.

2. Turn on your laptop, and then repeatedly hit the F10 key to open the BIOS Setup Utility.

3. Using the arrow keys, select Advanced, and then select Power Management Options.

4. Click the Battery Health Manager drop-down menu to review the setting options and then select the appropriate setting:

   • Let HP manage my battery charging: Use this setting to have the system balance charging between battery health and battery duration. The latest version of the Battery Health Manager dynamically changes how it charges the battery based upon usage conditions and temperature over time.

   • Maximize my battery health: Use this setting if the computer stays plugged in to the power adapter most of the time. This setting maximizes battery health by lowering the maximum battery charge level to 80%. The ability to store additional charge in a battery becomes less efficient after 80% and can add additional stress to the battery over time.

   • Maximize my battery duration: Use this setting if you need your battery to last as long as possible between charges. The battery charges to 100% to provide maximum run time between charges.

Hope this was helpful.

my laptop has the latest BIOs update (currently F.61 Rev.A , same as per listed in the link you gave).

i have also checked, unfortunately there is no battery care function option under System Configuration

i have also entered BIOS setup utility (pressing F10) AND unfortunately there is no "Advanced" and also no Power Management Options.

FYI - in BIOS setup utility, the main options i have are 

Main

Security

Configuration

Boot Options

Exit

i have checked each one and there is no "advanced" and also no "Power management options". as such, i am unable to select the settings.

can someone who is working with HP, provides me solution specific to my laptop ?

@NL81,

Yes, I agree: it would indeed be nice if an HP Support Agent or HP Expert were to weigh in.  My understanding is that unfortunately not all HP laptops have the software tools (made) available to limit battery charging. See link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-envy-15-as000-notebook-pc/10862135/document/c06179452.
