You can extend the life of a laptop, for example, by avoiding errors that reduce battery life, said Vitaly Dubynin, head of portable equipment at MegaFon.
In an interview with RIA Novosti, he pointed out that if you keep the laptop constantly plugged in, after about a year the battery capacity will start to drop. He noted that battery life is affected by the number of charge and discharge cycles, voltage level and high temperatures.
He called it a mistake to constantly charge a laptop because it exposes the laptop to constant exposure to heat.
“The study showed that if you store a battery that is constantly 100% charged at temperatures above 30 degrees for a year, the maximum battery capacity will drop to 65%,” the expert said. This mainly applies to new laptops with lithium-polymer batteries. It should be remembered that batteries have a limited number of charge cycles before their expected drop in performance.
“The best option is to charge the device when there is at least 10% charge left, charge it to 100% and immediately disconnect it from the grid,” he said.
The expert also recommended that when storing the product for a long time without use, remove the battery and place it in a cool place.
