hi
i'm just curious, is there such a thing or software which can make my computer stop charging when it reach it peak, i mean a 100% and then when the battery discharge reaches 10% or 15% battery life or knew my computer is in critical battery state, it automatically recharges over again, because i heard that's it not good that the charger is always connected and i'm not aware if i already reach a100% battery life.

My HP laptop will turn itself off when fully charged and when I turn it on it says it's on ac power.

A lithium-ion battery can only take a certain amount of charges, once this threshold is crossed the charging system continually tries to achieve a full charge that never happens.
The max life of a L-I battery can be gained by allowing it to completely discharge before charging, Always connected to a power supply kills them over time!
A voltage regulator controls this process not software...

For this, make sure you download the software provided by your manufacturer. yes, every laptop will have a battery software provided by the manufacturer. visit the manufacturer's website, goto support>>drivers and downloads. you should find your battery software there. Once you install your software, tweak and play with the options listed. there will be like threshold charge min charge etc... you can time your charge, stop it, start, anything depending on the provider though... you'll also get a set of instructions as to how to save your battery life with the software...

your computer already will not charge beyond 100%.
my laptop came with Power4Gear. I deleted it because I think it's crap.
