Hello Everybody and HP support

 

I was having a dell business Latitude laptop supporting application name DELL POWER MANANGER, this application beside the peak shift option that exist in the HP AC POWER CONTROL APP, allows me to stop charging the battery at any certain level and let me decide whcih level to chose, which is not available in my new HP EliteBook 840 G3 

 

this application was wonderful as it let me save my battery life, whenever i have an AC power outlet i can plug it and work on AC without need to work on the battery 

 

we know well that every battery has a number of specific charges and its charging life starts to diminishes, and thats what the DELL APP was doing with me which is eliminating the number of times i need to charge the battery

 

DELL laptop battery lived normally with me for up to 3 years with no noticable degradation or changes in its charging and power life

 

My question here, is there any way or could HP develope or add an option in the HP AC power control application allows me to disable battery charging at certain level and work on AC power only ?

 

Thanks
