Dear Habralyudi!
I bought an ultrabook Toshiba SATELLITE U840-B7S
I'm worried about the issue of power supply from the network. After all, if you constantly keep the laptop as stationary, the battery will eventually exhaust its resources and stop holding a charge.
The store said that according to ultrabook technology, the battery is switched off programmatically when it is 100% charged. I haven't been able to find any reliable information on this subject.
Who thinks about this? Is there software that will allow you to monitor this?

1. In order to learn how to store batteries correctly, you need to find out the type of cans. If lithium - then do not allow complete discharge - the rest is all the same.
2. The laptop will become obsolete much earlier than the battery will die - do not worry at all.
Modern controllers in the battery do everything themselves.

The most ideal option is to charge up to 40-60% and generally remove it from the netbook. And store at room temperature.

“The store said that according to the technology of ultrabooks, the battery is switched off programmatically when it is 100% charged. I haven't been able to find any reliable information about this."
Still doesn't help. Sooner or later, the charge is lost and the charging process begins. With constant operation in this mode, the battery is killed in the trash in 3-4 years.
If you want to save the battery, then work in the hospital without it. And remember, it is also not recommended to store a charged battery, it is desirable that it be charged by 10-20%.

If you constantly power your laptop from the mains, is it worth worrying about the battery at all?

IMHO, while the battery is noticeably degrading, you will already buy a new laptop. Well, or you can bribe a spare battery in advance on some ebay. All in all, I wouldn't worry too much about this.

There are no charging options? On my lenovo, you can say “stop charging as soon as we reach 95%, and start charging when it drops to 85%”, for example.

IMHO, it’s a useless exercise, it’s better to spend the time you want to spend on saving Akum to work productively and there will be enough money from this to buy a dozen Akum.

On my Acer Aspire, constantly connected to the network, the battery died in about 2.5 years of use. Now the charge holds for 10 minutes, no more.

Keeping batteries, and even more so, buying them in reserve is a stupid thing to do. Especially when you consider that lithium-ion batteries, of which the majority are now, begin to slowly die right from the moment they are released. The nature of the technology is this.
