I don't know much about this but recently, I was suggested by my cousin (when we were gaming) that I should always plug my laptop in to charging while I am gaming on it or I might ruin the battery. I am worried if I keep it plugged in all the time when I am gaming on it, that might ruin battery. I am really confused about all this and I need a legit opinion whether I should charge my laptop while gaming or not?

You are going to ruining the battery no matter what. 馃槢

Ok ok its not that bad. But if you are gaming for longer take out the battery when its around 50%-70% charged. (Turn of notebook first ofcourse).

Then plug in adapter again and game without battery then it wont be used and has the least wear.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Although thats a very nice idea.. The battery on my laptop is non removable. So I guess I'll switch off the charging when at 100%? idk

It stops charging when it hits 100% on it鈥檚 own. Just use the laptop normally, make sure you unplug it and drain it down a bit at least once a week to prevent battery inflation.

Most of gaming laptops have an intelligent system to not degrade the battery if you game with it plugged 24/7.

My MSI for example stops the charge and drains the power directly from the psu.

The thing is, most Gaming Laptops have like abysmal low Performance while not on Battery.

i've seen some, where the GPU Performance drops down to <20% while not plugged in.

聽

And i really do not mean "by 20%".聽
