Hello,
I have a 4 month old Asus Zenbook, and I have noticed recently that when the battery gets to "Fully charged (100%)", and then the laptop is turned off (or hibernated) and then turned on again, the battery status in Windows changes from 100% to "99% available (plugged in, not charging)". Occasionally it says "98% available (plugged in, not charging)".
From reading various articles about maximising battery life, there seems to be a consensus that modern laptops will bypass the battery once it is fully charged, powering the system directly from the AC adapter, to avoid unnecessarily charging and discharging the battery. Therefore, should I be pleased that the battery is plugged in and not charging, because this will reduce wear on the battery? Or could it indicate something else?
Any advice or input much appreciated. Thanks in advance
