laptop power question

[Deestone]

I have that feature and set it to 60% charge. I think it's the same reason why they ship smartphone at half charge, to prolong its life. Yun lang pag blackout I only have 1 hour or less to remain online. I should probably turn the feature off this typhoon season.

I see.... I tried to enable it and it really stops at 80% charge. How about for mobile phones? I always charge it 100% there is no feature to limit the charging.

If storing phones for long periods ... best to have less than 80% charge ... never full charge ...

You can program iOS to speak when charge is 80% or above ... using automation in shortcuts ...

Okay, Im using android i will try if it works with google voice.

I recently bought a laptop and there is this battery charge cycle limiting option of 80% full charge should I enable it to extend the battery life?

Yes if you have access to power outlet most of the time ...

hingiin ko sana yung specific brand na nagamit nyo na para may feedback, generator? power station? power brick? or kung anuman na set up.. thank you po..

yung kapatid ko nung nagka bagyo sa bohol last December, ang tagal ng brownout sa kanila at inabot yata ng more than 2 months. bumili sila ng Greenfield power station 400W yata nung nag bakasyon sila dito then dinala pag uwi duon. ok naman daw, parang may malaki ka powerbank hehe pang electric fan, charge ng fones. then re-charge nila pag pasok sa office, may kuryente kasi sa office nila pero sa house area nila eh matagal nagka kuryente.

meron yung iba may kinakabit na solar panel for charging.

Portable power stations come in different capacities. Beyond the "Wattage" being advertised (ie. 200W, 300W, 400W, etc.), the more important parameter to look at is the Wh capacity.

The formula is:
Equipment Wattage (W) x No. of hours of continuous use (H) = Required battery capacity (Wh)

So if your laptop consumes, say, 50W. You can get up to 4 hours from a 200Wh portable power station. That is the best case because the conversion is not 100% efficient. So it's safe to assume that you'll get somewhere around 2-3 hours from running a 50W laptop (and nothing else). In reality, you can get more time depending on whether the laptop is allowed to throttle down (reduce energy consumption) with light use.

Portable power stations are ideal if the outage is relatively short and far in between (to allow for charging time). For longer outages, a small inverter generator would probably be more practical.

I have same problem with missX, I'm WFH and looking for solution for power outage so I can remain online. Pag napapa daan ako sa true value nakikita ko mga generator, around ₱50k. It seems an expensive solution to remain working, it's probably cheaper to file a leave. [emoji23]

When you say small inverter generator, do you mean gasoline fed, lighter, and cheaper than ₱50k?

I don't really need to power a lot of appliances during outage, just a laptop and maybe a smartphone I can tether Internet to.

If it's just the bare essentials.... laptop, fan, lights, and to charge your phone/tablet, a small 800-1200W inverter generator is sufficient.

Thinkpads X1C, X250 & up, most newer laptops have USB type-C power delivery/thunderbolt port.

Just buy a proper length 90W type-C straight cable and 12V car PD 4.0 adapter and you're instant mobile in the car.

Meron narin 65Watter PD power banks, they automatically handshake if 5V, 12V, 19V ang ibibigay sa compatible device.
