UX302L: Keeping Battery at 50% ?
Recently read some credible comments to the effect that Li batteries
last longer if kept at 50% rather than 100%. My UX302L rarely goes off of AC and when it does it usually needs to last less than an hour on battery power. So.... Is there anything I can run that will tell Asus' battery manager to keep the battery at 50% instead of 100% ? Or am I getting spun up over a non-issue ? -- Pete Cresswell |

My Samsung laptop has an option to stop charging at 80 %. There's no option to set another limit, it's just 80% or let it go to 100. but they state that it's for longer battery life if you limit it to 80%. |

The laptop is likely not doing Stage 2, to achieve that 80% objective. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/lea..._ion_batteries Paul |
