On one particular day late into my week long course, I had been working on a big project for the course which was due the next day. Constantly being vigilant towards the battery is notĬonducive to productivity and a train of thought. Watching it like a hawk, my work suffers as I'm constantly distracted with paranoia that my laptop is going to die and that I'll lose any work I may have not thought to save in the past 5 minutes or so.

Missing 20% of your battery due to a power charging threshold that seemingly can't be changed, I want that extra 2% to 4% that I'm not getting.

I felt lost in the course because I couldn't properly follow-along. So I had to be selective when I used it, closing it when everyone else was navigating to important websites. Rate estimated by the default battery keeper. It wasn't long before I realized that my poor laptop was not going to make it for the last 2 hours of class based on the After confirming that first day, I hadn't been able to relocate that option in the settings under power management, power profiles, or underĪnd all was fine really, until I took some all day courses over an entire week which heavily relied on my use and access to a laptop. There had also been an option to set the charging threshold to 60% or keep it at 100%. Of course, this sounded like a very smart idea (and it's a great feature to have turned on in ideal
On initial start-up out of the box, the system asked if I wanted to maximize the potential of my battery's life by setting a power charging threshold of 80%. To skip the rest if you want, most of this is to help search engines locate this post so it's easily indexed and presented as a valid return against the original query) (scroll down to ****** for the answer and And I figured it out.read on below for solution.
I have been trying to figure out how to reset the power/battery charging threshold on my ASUS laptop for well over 2 months, ever since I bought my new Zenbook.
