Using a non-removable Li-Ion on a home laptop?
Is it possible to keep a laptop with a Li-Ion battery with the charging cable always connected? The battery is not removable. Notebook - DELL Inspiron 15 7537. Also, there are two options in the settings. The first option, apparently, is what I need, but I don’t quite understand what the second one does, and I don’t know if it should be enabled.

What's the difference if it's possible or not?
You should use a laptop, and not regret the battery, well, the battery will die in three years (which I think you can’t avoid in principle, no matter how you take care of it), buy a new one, usually it costs less than 100 bucks.
On modern hardware, it doesn't matter. Batteries have become such shit that in 2-3 years they will die in general in any mode of use. At least on the shelf if they lie charged (and regularly charged).
The battery on my old laptop has been living for 4 years already, it has lost only 15% of its capacity (well, that is, the laptop honestly keeps its 6 hours with its own battery). I used it like this: always on charge, if possible, always 100% charged, if possible. Once every 2-4 weeks - a discharge cycle up to 20-30%, then a full charge. Parents use it in the same mode to this day. At the same time, he lay in the table discharged to zero for a year (during this time he lost 10% of the capacity or so).
But on the Thinkpad X1 Carbon, for example, it has lost 17% of its capacity since August. I already use it in mobile mode much more often, 4-5 charge-discharge cycles per week, turbocharging is frequent (up to 80% from almost zero in half an hour).
On a subject - use both options.
Also, there are two options in the settings. The first option, apparently, is what I need, but I don’t quite understand what the second one does, and I don’t know if it should be enabled.
