Laptop charging problems

1. Can it be used while charging

Laptops can of course be used while charging, and should be used with external power whenever possible.After the battery life expires (lifetime reference value: 2 years, which may vary greatly depending on the brand/model/usage habits/use environment), you can purchase the corresponding model of laptop battery from the e-commerce platform to replace it.

2. It is not advisable to frequently unplug the power supply

Dell's official website support mentions that "frequently connecting and disconnecting the computer from the power source may shorten the battery life (such as poor socket contact causing the notebook's external power to connect/off multiple times within a minute)

3. For high-performance laptops

Deadly for gaming laptops.**Because if the power adapter is not connected, the hardware performance of the game book will be greatly limited (for example, the number of game frames will be seriously reduced).**In battery power mode, the bottom layer will reduce the hardware performance by limiting the operating frequency of the CPU and GPU, for example, triggering the BD PROCHOT signal to force the CPU to lower the frequency (Bi-directional Processor Hot, BD PROCHOT for short, translated as "Bi-directional Processor Hot""Control". This is a common feature in Intel processor products. When the temperature of the processor package layer or other motherboard components is detected to exceed the preset value, the operating frequency of the processor will be forced to reduce to achieve the purpose of cooling. There are also some manufacturers.Use it to improve battery life), forcing so-called "Power Saver Mode" on for optimal battery life.

4. Factory operation to protect the battery

• In order to prolong battery life, ASUS laptops are designed with built-in RSOC (Relative State of Charge) protection mechanism:

1. When the battery level is below 95% and the adapter is connected, the battery will charge to 100% and stop charging.
2. When the battery power drops from 100% to 95%~99% and the adapter is connected, the battery will not charge until the power is below 95%.
3. When the battery is charged to 94%~97%, reconnecting the adapter several times can make the battery charge to 100%.

• ASUS has made an ASUS Battery Health Charging app that protects the battery by limiting the charging efficiency.But not very practical

5.Lithium batteries for laptops are consumables

Yes, lithium batteries are consumables.There is a relatively obvious life limit (for example, a mobile phone battery should be tested for battery consumption after two years of use).The actual capacity of a lithium battery gradually decreases at a slow rate during use, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "battery aging".

6. User Manual

• Use the correct charging sequence

  Connect the adapter plug to the laptop first, then plug the adapter to the outlet to power up

• Use a native power adapter

  Be sure to use the power adapter that comes with the factory. If it is broken, you can buy a new adapter of the same model online.Because the use of third-party adapters has the same interface, but different parameters and specifications may speed up battery consumption or even reduce performance

Note: It is recommended to use a safety socket with anti-surge voltage function to connect the adapter. The importance of this socket to the notebook is proportional to the price of the notebook.(It's a three-socket charger)

• Develop correct usage habits

1. Do not deliberately perform a full charge and discharge.

2. Appropriate maintenance measures should be taken when the equipment is not in use for a long time

• When the laptop or mobile phone or tablet is not used for a long time, it is necessary to charge the battery to about 50% and then shut down.And recharge the battery to about 50% every three months.This can avoid battery failure or even damage due to over-discharge of the battery due to long-term storage and unused use.

3. Appropriate maintenance measures should be taken when connecting the power adapter for a long time.

   • The battery needs to be discharged to approximately 50% at least every 14 days.This can reduce the long-term high-power state of the battery, which is beneficial to prolong the battery life.

4. Pay attention to the storage environment of lithium batteries.

   The best storage environment for lithium batteries is about 10°C - 35°C, and the power is maintained at about 50%-80%.Do not store the battery in a wet environment (or use it in a wet environment).This makes it easy to speed up battery discharge.Do not store the battery in a high/low temperature environment (or use it in a high/low temperature environment, normal operating temperature is usually 10-35 degrees Celsius).High temperatures can put the battery at risk of explosion, while low temperatures can damage the chemistry inside the battery.
