Newer Sony laptops come with "Battery Care" software that automatically keeps the battery between 50 and 80% at all times. According to Sony engineers, a battery that is always kept at or below 50% will essentially never degrade in capacity.
- there 17y agoso what's the point of having a big battery then if it never charges to 100%?
- sounddust 17y agoWell, it's still more battery life than a small battery that never charges to 100%, right? I think regardless of the battery size, you can make the decision to preserve the long-term life of your battery or have the extra capacity in the short-term. Plus, charging from 20 to 80% is much faster than charging from 20 to 100% (I estimate that about half of the time is spent just going from 80 to 100).
