So I own a Dell 15z that came with an internal battery that I sometimes kept plugged in, but Dell included software that kept the battery in better shape (would randomly charge it from 95-100% each recharge cycle) as well as some other features. Unfortunately, it was getting older and was starting to fall apart so I just bought a new MSI recently that also has an internal battery but it does not have similar software (that I've seen at least). Are there any applications out there these days that supports battery health? I keep the MSI plugged in most of the time right now since I am out of school for a few months but I can't remove the battery without opening the entire machine up.
 
Solution
My current MSI, and my last ASUS are/were both plugged in 24/7. The battery would charge to 100%, then stop charging completely (not even a trickle charge) until the battery would slowly lose it's charge down to 95% over the course of a couple weeks, then would recharge again to 100% and then repeat the cycle. I believe this is pretty much standard in all modern MSI ans ASUS laptops, and probably other brands as well. As a result, my year and a half old MSI shows a battery wear level of only 5%, which means the battery will last many years. I would imagine yours will do the same.
