Hi people,

 

I play a couple of games on my laptop and on a full charge, my battery usually lasts 1h 30mins while playing. When the battery goes low, I plug it in and keep playing until whenever. I was wondering whether doing this is bad for my computer and wanted you guys to tell me which option is the best:

 

A: Keep doing what I am doing right now (play on battery, plug in when low)

 

B: Play with the laptop always plugged in

 

C: Turn on battery conservation mode (charge up to 60%) and keep the laptop always plugged in

 

Thanks.

unlikely to make much of a difference either way

It depends what you're trying to achieve - a laptop you can use anywhere or increase the time before you have to replace the laptop battery.

Probably more towards the latter but it would be nice being able to not have to always have your laptop plugged in.

Wouldn't the two things that you said be the same? Bad battery time = quicker replacement required
