HP Omen 15-dc1xxx Charging Habits

[Hebaish]

Hi!

I purchased Omen 15 by HP (dc1-xxx series) three months ago, and I have been concerned about the battery life. At the beginning I was charging the battery between 30-90%. However, I read somewhere that new laptops are equipped with a smart feature that disconnect charging automatically when the battery reaches 100%, so it is better to keep it plugged in while using the laptop. I have been doing that for sometime. I keep it plugged it while using it, and I unplug it when I shut it down. I need to know which procedure is the correct to maintain the battery life.  

Thanks.
