I have an HP Victus laptop and I'm looking for tips to extend its battery life. I've heard conflicting advice about whether keeping the charger plugged in constantly is good or bad for the battery. What should I do to keep my battery healthy?

To get more runtime, consider reducing your workload. Things like dimming the screen brightness, turning off keyboard backlighting, and disabling Bluetooth or WiFi when not in use can help a lot. Plus, if your laptop supports it, you could explore getting an external battery.
Just make sure to turn off the laptop instead of leaving it in standby or hibernation when you’re not using it. Power-saving settings can really help elongate battery life.
A good tip is to limit the charge to around 80%. Keeping it plugged in while limiting the charge helps maintain battery health. Also, enabling power-saving mode can help if you want it to last longer on battery. You might also want to tweak the processor settings to save some juice.
And hey, if all else fails, just grab a UPS and keep it in your backpack for backup power! Though, relying solely on that might not be the best long-term solution.
It's not great to leave your laptop plugged in all the time. Keeping your battery constantly charged can actually shorten its lifespan. Ideally, you want to avoid letting it stay plugged in after it reaches 100% to prevent it from burning out over time.
