hello!

i have a doubt regarding battery life..........is it safe to keep the laptop plugged in all the time even if its  100% charged?

i wanted to let the battery drain to 20%  atleast for a week and then keep the laptop in plugged in mode

does it affect the battery charge counts?

thank you

@MJVN, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Yes, you may keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook. This does not affect the battery. The technology has improved over the years and the AC adapter you are using will stop transferring the charge to the battery once it is fully charged.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
