I got a small and light Lenovo laptop for travelling. Looking at the native Windows, one of the manufacturer options is to limit the battery charge to 55..60% while the charger is plugged, because this will increase the battery life.
That doesn't make sense to me. It means you can never fully charge your battery using the charger, so what's the point of the charger?
Just choose full charge in the config utility.
And if you can never fully charge you battery what's the point of having a portable device like the laptop if you can't get a full battery charge lifetime when mobile?
Travelling to another site, then place it on the table and plug it in :-p
The shortened battery lifetimes I've had with my laptops have been doe to overheating; variously:
- cat hair gumming up the fans - inadequate air flow underneath the laptop because the little spacer 'dots' that act like 'legs' fell off and it sat flat on the desk - inadequate air flow underneath the laptop because it was on a soft surface
This one has no fan. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
