Product: HP Pavilion 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-ec2000 (2P6B3AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

With recent updates to some of HPs Omen' line of gaming laptops came a function called 'Battery Care.' It is configurable in BIOS under the advanced tab and allows you to set a percentage the battery will be allowed to charge to.

However, the rest of their Pavilion line is apparently left in the dark. I have a 2021 Ryzen 5600h/GTX 1650 (16gb 2x8GB-3200) and I am running the most current BIOS available and there is no 'Battery Care.' Simply the 'adaptive battery optimizer' which sadly, does not limit state of charge.

 

Being that these are gaming laptops, many of them spend days on the charger as you don't get full CPU/GPU power when not plugged in. So, why, when it requires NO additional hardware has HP NOT implemented this function? It would likely extend the life of the battery greatly as opposed to keeping it at 100% all the time.
