Is it really possible to overcharge your laptop? You might not think so, but it’s actually something that can happen if you’re not careful. In this blog post, we’re going to take a closer look at what happens when you overcharge your laptop and how to avoid doing it in the first place. So, keep reading to learn more!
Well, first and foremost, it’s important to note that this isn’t necessarily something that will happen to everyone. However, if you do overcharge your laptop, there is a chance that you could damage the battery. This means that the battery may not be able to hold a charge for very long, and it may eventually need to be replaced. Additionally, overcharging can also cause the device to heat up significantly, which could lead to damage being done to the internal components. So, it’s definitely best to avoid overcharging your laptop if you can!
Battery
The chemical reaction in the battery is called oxidation (loss of electrons). Lithium-ion batteries are said to stop working when they’re charged, although that’s something of an overstatement. The battery’s capacity falls under load in use; it can’t retain anything like its full energy in reserve waiting for the next startup cycle.
So, it is theoretically possible for a laptop battery to be discharged too far. However, no user should ever expect this to happen in normal circumstances . Please note: When your laptop charger says “Dell AC Adapter” or “Sony AC adapter”, we still call them laptop chargers/adapters/power adapters/plugs because there are so many different types of laptops and different power adapters have different designs. Because of that, what you are looking for is to find the correct laptop adapter for your machine.

- Normal: The battery is functioning as expected.
- Replace Soon: The battery is functioning normally but holds less charge than it did when it was new.
- Replace Now: The battery is functioning normally but holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new. You can still use your computer, but if its performance is affected, take it to an Apple-authorized service technician to replace the battery.
- Service Battery: The battery isn’t functioning normally. You can use the Mac when it’s connected to a power adapter, but you should take it to an Apple Store or Apple-authorized service provider as soon as possible.
Save Battery Life in Windows 10
The new Windows 10 Battery Saver kicks in automatically when the system reaches 20% of battery life. Depending on your settings, the computer will lower the screen brightness. To find it, go to Settings > System > Battery Saver or right-click the battery icon in the system tray.
Make changes to the Power Plan screen to preserve battery life. Power Plans set the number of minutes of inactivity that elapse before the laptop dims or powers down. Lower numbers reduce battery use. The Power Plan screen is located at Settings > System > Power & Sleep.
If you don’t need the internet for a while, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections to save battery power. The easiest way is to activate Airplane Mode, located at Settings > Network & internet > Airplane Mode (or Flight mode). It’s also available from the Action Center window.
