Whether you use your laptop every day or leave it aside for a while, <\/span>the battery is still a fragile component<\/a><\/b>. To get the best out of it over time, it\u2019s essential to know <\/span>the right ways to charge, care for and monitor it<\/b>. Here is a complete guide to maintaining your lithium-ion battery effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use or inactivity: two risks for the battery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A battery degrades even when it\u2019s not used<\/span><\/h3>\n

Contrary to popular belief, <\/span>not using a laptop does not stop the battery deteriorating<\/b>. Even when switched off, it <\/span>naturally loses between 5 and 10% of its charge every month<\/b>. If it drops too low, its total capacity may be damaged permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always keep a minimum level of charge<\/span><\/h3>\n

To preserve your battery over time, <\/span>avoid letting it fully discharge<\/b>. Even for long-term storage, <\/span>keep the charge at around 50%<\/b>. This level is optimal to maintain the battery\u2019s health in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best charging practices to know<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Avoid staying plugged in all the time<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once your laptop is <\/span>charged to 100%<\/b>, <\/span>leaving it plugged in permanently can speed up battery wear<\/b>. Fortunately, recent models include <\/span>protective sensors<\/b> that automatically stop charging at full capacity. However, <\/span>the best habit is still to unplug the laptop<\/b> once it is fully charged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait until 0% to recharge<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lithium-ion batteries <\/span>tolerate frequent top-ups very well<\/b>. Unlike older generations, they <\/span>do not need a full charge cycle to work efficiently<\/b>. It is therefore recommended to <\/span>recharge as soon as the battery reaches 10 to 20%<\/b>, rather than waiting for a complete discharge.<\/span><\/p>\n
