![]() So just buy a dock, use a single cable, turn on Optimized Battery Charging and stop worrying about stuff that others have already tried to reason with you. There's again more evidence against what you claim than for it. Lithium batteries are designed to naturally run hot and literally don't work at colder temperatures so much that EVs have a heater just to warm up the batteries. The Windows Central article you linked to mentions an equivalent feature on Windows - the article does not focus on heat at all. But the next point makes this a non-problemĪpple has literally added a feature in Big Sur that incentivizes keeping your laptop plugged in - it will limit your battery to 80% charge when plugged in 24x7 and your processor will be consuming the power from the charger instead of the battery - leaving your laptop ready to go always while causing less wear to the battery. This is the reason (i.e., forcing 100% charge) why people didn't keep their stuff plugged in always for years - not because of heat. And charging above a certain battery percentage many times will also cause wear, instead of keeping it at around 50-80%. Charging is an efficient process and dumps much less heat compared to a processor (which dumps every watt as heat).Ĭharging and discharging a battery will do much more harm to your battery than keeping it at a warm temperature. So there is actually more evidence to support the fact that this heat does not affect the life of your laptop because these laptops are still around - 5 years later. ![]() Apple's Intel laptops thermal throttle by design - and the 2016 Macbooks are still around. Most consumer laptops are designed to run hot. Making a joke in the comments is fine of course, but please don't post content that clearly belongs in another sub.
