On one particular day late into my week long course, I had been working on a big project for the course which was due the next day. Constantly being vigilant towards the battery is notĬonducive to productivity and a train of thought. Watching it like a hawk, my work suffers as I'm constantly distracted with paranoia that my laptop is going to die and that I'll lose any work I may have not thought to save in the past 5 minutes or so. When I get focused on something I'm working on, I'm not always eagle-eyeing the battery %. Missing 20% of your battery due to a power charging threshold that seemingly can't be changed, I want that extra 2% to 4% that I'm not getting. I know that 2 to 4% may not seem like much, but when you're already To say the least, I was extremely frustrated and feeling like I'd committed an irreversible action to my laptop forever limiting it's usefulness to me.Īdding insult to injury, the battery never reached the 80% I had initially confirmed, as it was only really ranging from 76% to 78% before switching to "Plugged in, Not charging" status.

There had also been an option to set the charging threshold to 60% or keep it at 100%. Of course, this sounded like a very smart idea (and it's a great feature to have turned on in ideal On initial start-up out of the box, the system asked if I wanted to maximize the potential of my battery's life by setting a power charging threshold of 80%.
