Using a Laptop while it is charging.

[Shriyan Srivatsav Shankar]

Hello everyone, I just have a confusion. I have an HP laptop with a Ryzen 3 3200u and I am getting decent battery life. Since we are living in an online world and Google meet is a battery hog(smh) it is not practical for me to use the Laptop without charging. Now I have heard that using and charging the laptop at the same time may reduce the battery capacity in long term. So I would really appreciate if any one of you would say whether is it fine or not find. Sorry if this was a stupid question

I think it's fine.

Where did you read it reduces battery life long term?

It's probably fine, 

Its Depends on the app honestly

If your laptop has one of those features where it can limit its battery to 60% or 80% i suggest you to use that

So this is my work thing. I charge my laptop to 60% and drain it to 40%. Then I charge and use it at the same time till it reaches 60%. Is this fine?

Why not charge it to 100?

 

Really, nothing is going to happen.  Use your laptop.  Charge it when it needs to be charged.  Don't when it doesn't.  

 

It's really not rocket science.

Why not charge to 100% and leave it there since the app/service your using is technically light enough your charger  can deliver the power for the battery to stay at 100 and provide power for your Laptop components (ok so, that's not technically how its work but hopefully you get the point)

And by plug/unplug it you increase the tear and wear of the charging cables
