No, battery life is measured in change cycles. If you don’t discharge the battery, it doesn’t age as much as if you do discharge and then recharge the battery.

No, battery life is measured in change cycles. If you don’t discharge the battery, it doesn’t age as much as if you do discharge and then recharge the battery. At least that’s the case for batteries with reasonable charging controllers like those found in $500+ gadgets.
- Alifatisk 3y agoThat's what I'm saying, keeping the charger connected reduces the amount of battery cycles therefore keeping the battery health for longer compared to charging and discharging multiple times. BUT, you have to disconnect the charger when not using the laptop, for example when you're going to sleep.
- vardump 3y agoNot all charge cycles are equivalent. By limiting charge to just 80%, your battery will last many times longer versus to letting it charge up to 100%. That's also the reason why EV manufacturers set charge limits to similar numbers.
