Network operation laptop?

Since for some reason my laptop performs better when playing games when it is connected to the network, I only have it connected to the network for the last few days. Do I break the battery by doing this?

why does it run better in mains operation than battery operation?

Ka

That's not just any reason, it's always like that. Otherwise your battery would be sucked.

lo

This is actually not good for the battery, as the charging process is interrupted again and again due to the changing load, and the battery is discharged a little (microcycles)

PS: that the device runs better in mains operation is due to the fact that the performance of the cpu is throttled in battery operation in order to enable longer runtimes.

Ma

Mains operation practically always delivers electricity at the maximum capacity of the device. A rechargeable battery continues to decline with increasing service life and has its limits.

Continuous mains operation is more likely to conserve the battery because it needs fewer charging cycles, so it is good for the device.

2 answer 2 different statements.

But I'm assuming that you can't take the battery out that easily. Which makes it easy for you to solve your dillema.

A li-ion battery should ideally have a charge of 20-80% more or less are not optimal.

The difference in performance comes from the fact that the CPU is downstacked in battery mode to save power. I.e. You only have the full performance of your laptop when connected to the mains. However, this can also be changed, if you go to the battery status display at the bottom right, you can adjust a slider to determine how much the performance should be throttled in battery mode. Leaving the laptop connected to the mains does not harm it, on the contrary. This means that the battery is discharged and recharged less often, which of course saves the battery. From the fact that the power is throttled in battery operation, you can also tell that the laptop batteries are not intended to use the device like a mobile phone without a power supply and only charge it every now and then, but that the battery is only there as a small bridge…

And how do you intend to guarantee this in the long term? Isn't that impractical? It is constantly being reloaded until it is full

If the notebook is connected to the power supply anyway, the battery could also go out
