helen Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 My old notebook that I had 24/24 switched on unfortunately broke and now I 'm useing a much more modern Notebook - an HP 15-da0915ng but, as allmost moder notebook the battery cant be removed and having to keep it on all the time, I'm afraid that the battery could get damaged. Here's my question. How do I not get the battery damaged. This notebook, like all the "modern" ones, maybe has a protection switch for excessive battery charging and therefore I so I will not have any risk or is there a software that can interrupt the charging (but I don't think the charging is hardware) or...? Solutions? I don't want to buy a desktop pc, this is enough for me thanks Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLord Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 If you leave the battery attached and your notebook is constantly connected to power outlet, your battery's performance will keep degrading. Options: 1. Disconnect from power outlet until you need to re-charge your battery. After battery is charged disconnect from the power. 2. Remove the battery and use the power outlet constantly. 3. If available for your model, use (enable) HP Adaptive Battery Optimizer (Power Management Options in BIOS). 4. Use a similar software like "Battery Limiter", "Battery Optimizer", or "BatteryCare". They pretty much work similar to HP Adaptive Battery Optimizer. 5. Start saving money for battery replacement in near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start saving money for battery replacement in near future humm i just read your reply now i had nomarked of your post in the forum notification so the situation is : 1)I checked in the bios that option doesn't seem to be there 2)with the HP utility I been advised that there is a upgrade for my bios but I'm afraid that somewthing can go wrong (as example after the bios will be resetted and I will loose all settings ddr4,videocard ,ssd ext ext so that will stop me to do it (with battery normaly I can stay working 4 hours so I think the only sure way is a software I wil, try that solution and let u know Thank's PS.Ißm trying "Battery Limiter", but I dont realy think that works as HP Adaptive Battery Optimizer. I selected 80% max charge but if i keep rechage on it will rechage and will not stop to change Edited July 12, 2023 by helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then you might not get the mentioned option as I read it's not available to all models. As for Battery Optimizer, if it is not working, then perhaps you should try other options. I mentioned few, but I'm sure there should be many more. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI it's a software side of the OS (like most new phones that you can limit the charging) and not much related to the hardware. Just gotta find a software that works/functions on your notebook. Sometimes just have to keep trying different ones to find the right one. Keeping fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyFeltrop Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 To prevent your laptop's battery from getting damaged due to continuous charging, you can follow these tips: In Windows, go to "Control Panel" > "Hardware and Sound" > "Power Options." Choose a power plan that's designed for laptops, such as "Balanced" or "Power Saver." These plans optimize battery life by adjusting power settings. Some modern laptops, including HP models, come with software utilities that allow you to set custom charging thresholds to limit battery charge to a specific percentage (e.g., 80%). This feature helps prevent overcharging. Check if HP provides any software or drivers that allow you to set charging thresholds. HP's utility for this purpose may be called "HP Command Center" or "HP Support Assistant. If you're using the laptop near a power source, like a desk, consider unplugging it from the charger when the battery is at an acceptable level (e.g., 80-90%). This reduces the number of charge cycles. While modern laptops do have built-in mechanisms to prevent overcharging and protect the battery, it's still a good practice to follow these guidelines to prolong the battery's lifespan. If your HP laptop supports custom charging thresholds, use that feature to your advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
