How to use laptop battery properly to prevent it from wearing out

Laptop batteries are an important part that helps the device operate flexibly without having to be plugged in continuously. However, if not used properly, the battery can quickly wear out and reduce performance. Below are instructions to help extend battery life and protect your laptop better.

Using laptop batteries incorrectly can cause them to wear out quickly. Let's learn with TipsMake how to use them properly to extend battery life and ensure stable computer performance.

Instructions for using laptop batteries properly

1. Do not use the battery while charging.

You should not use your laptop while it is charging when the battery is not fully charged, because this causes the battery to continuously charge and discharge, leading to faster battery deterioration. Although most laptops today have the function of automatically stopping charging when full, it is still best to turn off the device when charging to ensure battery life. If you need to use the device for a long time, unplug the charger when the battery is full or use a direct power source if the laptop supports it.
