Hey 

 

Since my laptop is mostly connected to the charger, I've changed the option of the Battery Health Manager in the BIOS

from default setting "Let HP Manage My Battery Charging"

to "Maximize My Battery Health"

 

I expected that the charge percentage in the windows icon tray would no go up higher than 80 %.

Then I've read the comment at the bottom of this page: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/ish_4449597-3519507-16

It confuses me a bit, since it could be fine if it would go to 100 %  in combination with the presence of a heart icon on Windows 11. I don't see that heart. 

How can I be sure everything works fine?

 

You will continue to see the battery charge at 100% in the Windows icon tray, with 100% representing the new, adjusted full charge capacity.

NOTE: 

Before this update, Maximize My Battery Health caused the Windows icon tray to display a maximum charge of 80%. After the update, the Windows icon tray displays a maximum charge of 100%. This change was made to create a more user-friendly and consistent customer experience.

NOTE: 

After this update, if you are running the Windows 11 operating system, a small heart icon is displayed in the Windows icon tray. This heart icon indicates that a battery health feature has been enabled.
