Stop laptop from charging from the OS level?

Asked By w.rhodes 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/07/2013

I have a setup that my laptops are always in charge and cables are always plugged in. Can I have a option within OS to easily On/OFF the charging? This makes it easier for me to not search which cable to plug in each time and can save my Batteries overall life

Stop laptop from charging from the OS level?

There are lots of options for doing this:

One thing you can find Dell's battery management utility that has the same functionality

Another way, if you are using HP or nay brand of laptop with SBS Smart Battery System, then you can be content that you laptop won't charge unless the batteries are discharged up to a certain point. Hence you won't really need to worry about overcharaging issues.
