Hi, I’m using an HP Notebook - 14-am044tx and I mostly keep it plugged in for daily use. I’ve been reading that charging a laptop to 100% all the time can shorten the battery’s lifespan, and some newer HP models have a feature in the BIOS called Battery Health Manager or something similar that lets you limit charging to around 80%.
I went into the BIOS by pressing F10, but I couldn’t find any battery-related settings there — nothing like "Maximize my battery health" or a charge limit option. I checked all the tabs (Main, System Configuration, etc.) but didn’t see anything helpful.
I also have HP Support Assistant installed, but it doesn’t show any option to limit charging either — just a basic battery check.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to enable a battery charge limit (like capping it at 80%) on this laptop model?
If not, is there a BIOS update, driver, or HP tool that can add this feature?
And if it’s completely unsupported, is there a safe third-party app that HP recommends or at least doesn’t advise against?
Here are my specs in case it helps:
Model: HP Notebook - 14-am044tx Windows 10 Battery -The original battery had degraded so badly that it would drop from 100% to 0% in just a few seconds, so I’ve already replaced it with a new one and now I want to make sure I take better care of this new battery going forward.
Would really appreciate any advice. Just trying to make the battery last longer while using the laptop mostly plugged in.
Thanks!

Hi @Aradhya_
There is no possibility to limit the load capacity for your model. Using it always connected does not damage quickly the battery if you for example use the battery 2 days a week and leave it discharged at 50%.
