Also if you have an integrated battery, you won't have to worry so much.You can set your battery plan not to sleep when you close your laptop lid.f you have your battery pluged in, using your laptop and charging it at the same time you will decrease the battery's life to half or more in 4 to 6 months. My advice to keep your battery for longer time is to unplug it if you are at home or somewhere similar you can use your charger.
To achieve this, smart charging mode limits the battery to a 70 percent charge. By changing this to normal mode, you can charge the battery to 100 percent before you unplug it to play a movie, giving you 30 percent more viewing time.
