[Video] Battery health charging walk through

Introduction 

Since users usually keep their AC adapter connected while using their laptop, the battery is often in a state of  high-power(98-100%) for extended length of time which causes a reduction in battery life.

In order to protect the battery, Battery Health Charging allows you to set your battery's maximum power of RSOC (Relative State Of Charge) which helps extend the battery's lifespan.

 

Information

When this app is activated, there are three modes to choose from, depending on your own requirements. 

 

1. Full Capacity Mode: Default setting.  

 

2. Balanced Mode

 

3. Maximum Lifespan Mode

 

Functions and settings

 

1.Ten minutes after your first OS login, the message "Battery power setting is in Full Capacity Mode now" will automatically pop up. Please click ‘X’ to close this message.

If you choose to keep the current mode, the message will pop up again after 90 days. When you switch to either of the two modes (Balanced Mode/ Maximum Lifespan Mode), this message won't pop up again until you change back to the default mode (Full Capacity Mode).

 

2. You can change the setting by clicking Set it up now in the pop-up message,then close the dialog window.

  Move the mouse cursor over the Tray icon and right-click the Battery icon to select the mode you want to use. The current mode can be confirmed by the color shown in the Tray icon.
