If my laptop reaches 100% (or 95%) should I stop loading? And from when best to reload (20%, etc.)
Have always heard both things on the Internet, so let charging cable inside even at 100%
Even if the battery does not break down and become overloaded, what is really better for the battery?
It is best for the battery, if you take it out at home.
Unplugging is better
Why? Because the battery then does not permanently have short charging cycles.
In the past, it was not supposed to be done because of the so-called memory effect.
This is now as good as history because the batteries are made of other materials.
But there's still the problem with the maximum number of charge cycles available. See, e.g. Batteries in cordless phones (landline connection at home): If they are always in the charging station, the batteries sometimes die after 1.5-2 years.
If you load them with fewer cycles (ie load them and then place them next to the charging station) → they last much longer.
The bill for lithium-ion batteries: With weekly charge (once to twice a week) they would have to last 10-15 years. 500-800 cycles. Usually they are broken after only 2 years because they have up to 5 cycles per day (because they are reloaded permanently).
If you do not need the power you can take out the cable
For a working day, a load should be enough
In addition: Strictly speaking, the memory effect was also largely an urban legend - in the sense of: This effect was negligible.
The problem at the time was that the batteries were overcharged or "grilled" by purely time-controlled chargers.
Devices like the Ansmann PowerLine 5 were expensive. In virtually no devices - even in cordless and mobile phones were such CPU-controlled boards not in it.
Thus the myth of the memory effect came up - which was however simple overcharging of Akkus.
Modern lithium-ion batteries have an electronic charging control on board.
It does not matter if the power cable is plugged in or not. The controller prevents overcharging the batteries.
Err… At NiCd → memory effect. Only those were revised at first (then no such drastic memory effect more) and later replaced by NiMh… From the time of the revision applies what you have written.
Thank you
But I have just 100%
Again extra, rausholen and when at 20% load again or just when I load on, as now just leave the plug inside?
"Reload sometime at 20%" is the right way.
Can do - but is at best fine tuning.
As I said: today's batteries have automatic control.
And: No matter what you do, from about 2-3 years lithium-ion batteries lose significantly in performance. No matter how you loaded it before.
Depending on the model and manufacturer, this will happen sooner or later.
(My 12 year old laptop still has the first battery, which lasts only 2 hours - is OK for me and my applications.)
