The stupid thing is that on battery power, the screen is much darker than in network operation. This is tiring in the long run
Yes, this will harm the battery in the long run, it is best if the charge level is always between 30 and 80%.
But in the end, a laptop is a commodity like a cell phone too, and over time, just the battery gets tired, that's normal.
The screen is darker… Yeah how about increasing brightness? In the energy options, the brightness for mains and battery operation can even be set separately. Or do I understand you wrong?
Ah, thank you, I'm not the computer cracker
No problem. But is on the keys how to change the brightness.
But if I understand you correctly, it only damages the battery because it is not kept in the ideal part-LOAD condition. But it does not hurt him either
Yes and no. So in principle it is not quite optimal to keep the battery always at 80%. Because just like at 100%, charging is always interrupted and recharged as soon as the battery level drops. That makes a modern battery but hardly anything, you could almost say garnix.
To break: The battery in my notebook is soon 8 years old and still has 40% of its capacity. I have always loaded as I wanted…
Usual notebooks go into the trickle charge when the battery level drops below 95%. This happens at a constantly connected to the mains device every few days several times.
Usual Li-Ion batteries have at least 500, usually more than 1000 complete charging cycles and no "memory effect". D. H. Let's assume 1000 cycles, and every 2 days the trickle charge starts, then you would have a calculated full charge after 40 days. However, the battery can do 1000 cycles. So life on stream constantly: 40000 days = 109 years.
Of course, in a way, it's an absurd milk girl's bill. But I just want to show that in intelligently designed circuits (= not all power is always through the battery, but device is powered directly when power is connected) and clever battery charging in principle, a barely relevant battery wear occurs when the device is constantly connected to the network.
Of course you can leave the laptop permanently on the power, because today's charging electronics keep the battery in an optimal condition, Windows or the corresponding power tool of the laptop manufacturer takes care of it.
Under the energy options you can choose a suitable energy scheme, more here:

Most laptops, e.g. From Lenovo, also have their own tools to keep the battery in optimal state of charge when it permanently hangs on the power supply.
And you certainly also know that a battery always ages and at some point must be replaced, even if it is optimally "maintained".
