Date: December 7th, 2022 12:22 PM Author: Learning disabled sandwich That's a good idea, limiting the charge. I was unaware that you could do that with laptops. I had to install the "Lenovo Vantage" application from the Microsoft Store to get this on my Thinkpad.
I've had a couple of laptops where the battery got pretty trashed. I rarely used them on battery and kept them plugged in all the time.
I use the AccuBattery app on my Android to help limit the charge. Unfortunately you can't just set it to quit charging, the best you can do is have it set off an alarm when the charge reaches a certain level |

Date: December 7th, 2022 12:24 PM Author: Self-absorbed locus yep, its thru the lenovo vantage thing. u can set a min/max threshold. i have it so it doesnt charge past 45%, and to recharge up to 45% if it drops below 40% (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5248909&forum_id=2#45598987) |

Date: December 7th, 2022 8:40 PM Author: Learning disabled sandwich It makes a ton of sense to me.
I have two laptops, one that is just a couple years old and another that is an old beater. When I travel, I prefer to take the old one just in case something happens to it.
If I can do a better job of preserving the battery on the newer one, it can be a more useful beater in a few years' time. |

You should also have a full docking station in each room connected to several monitors and keyboard/mouse/joystick so you can convert any room to your command center on a whim.

Date: December 7th, 2022 11:18 AM Author: Mauve rigor I guess it's neurotic, or it's an efficiency thing. People leave tissue boxes in convenient places, why not chargers? I do the same thing. Chargers for phone/iPad/computer at desk, next to couch, nightstand, etc.
