I think it really depends on how many cycles the batteries have gone through. You say you keep yours on AC most of the time so maybe that’s why.

- lmilcin 8y agoWhat I meant is that laptop spens large portion of the day discharging, doing work. But I rarely let it get below 50% which is when main 6 cell battery starts running out before switching to internal 3 cell one. I unfortunately don't record the usage of my battery but mine would be different from the author of the article. In mine, I guess, you would see say 80% of days not going below 60% of charge. While I could technically last entire day on one charge bI never venture from home without charger and I always let it charge even if I have just few minutes between meetings. I also use the regular 65W charger to charge large battery which charges slowly (but I guess it helps maintain lower temperature).
- Synaesthesia 8y agoWell if you only discharge it partially, that only counts as a partial cycle, which helps keep your battery good. It's good to let it get completely flat every now and then, I believe...
