Hey everyone,
A month ago, I got a new laptop. The Acer Nitro AN515-51-51TB. I used to be pretty handy with desktops but this is my first gaming laptop and I'm not really up to date anymore.
The laptop features :
Intel Core i5 7300h, 2.5ghz that goes up to 3.5
Nvidia GTX 1050 with 4GB VRAM
12GB DDR4 RAM
1 TB HDD
128GB SSD
When playing games, I notice my laptop go up to 70 degrees on the CPU, which doesn't seem too bad, but I noticed that I cannot play games with the dedicated graphics card until I plug in the charger in. Now obviously this isn't a huge deal, but I was wondering if this would damage the battery over time, especially when having long gaming sessions (up to 5 hours or so.) I keep a cooling pad underneath my laptop to keep the battery from heating and provide better airflow, but I was wondering If anyone could provide some insight that'd be great, will it cut the battery life short/damage any other components? if so are there any ways to prevent it? Thank you. I know looking for long battery life in a gaming laptop is pretty much impossible but I was just wondering.
Some games I play for reference ;
GTA V
League of Legends
CS : GO
Overwatch
(mainly first two games)

tl;dr gaming laptop needs charger plugged in consistently and I was wondering if that would damage the battery or any other components in the long run.
