How does charging just 10% of the battery from 50% - 60% count towards the cycle life of the battery and would adjusting it to a shorter duration (maybe = 51% turn off power supply) or a longer duration (maybe = 60% turn off power supply) help out? Is the percentage okay or should I add it a bit closer together (maybe = 55% turn off power supply) or have it be 40% - 50% rather than 50% - 60%? Is doing this with the smart switch better than having the battery fully charge to 100% and keeping it plugged in? I have these questions and I was hoping to get some opinions:
Also when the laptop is shutdown it turns off the power supply. I created a PowerShell program that runs in the background and checks the battery level once a minute and if it falls below 51% it tells a Sonoff Basic R3 switch to turn on the power supply and if the charge goes above 59% it turns the power supply off. I really only use the laptop docked here at home so for 95% of it's life it will be plugged in so the battery feature is important to me as when I do want to use it off the dock I get more than 10 minutes of battery. They only include it on their business and "high end" laptops even though mine was $1000.
I just bought a new HP Laptop (Envy x360) and was very surprised to find out that it had no battery/energy management software or anything in the bios to manage the charge of the battery to keep it at ~50% when plugged in to maximize the life of the battery.
