Battery drain at sleep mode

Happy to help.

Going off the topic of FxSound, and on to the topic of laptop batteries:
I’m a laptop user myself, I have a ThinkPad, and I keep my charger plugged in continuously while my laptop is on, and my battery stable between 44% and 55% with some tweaked settings in my Power Manager.
First tip - and I learned this the hard way, with several depleted batteries and blackouts: you should never, ever, fully charge to 100%, because you’ll notice your battery’s capacity dwindling away real fast if you keep your charger plugged in while at 100%.
So, here’s another tip: avoid gauge resets, because they will do exactly that.
Here’s a link to a handy FREE tool to measure battery health on a laptop; I also included some printscreens below with info on my battery’s settings.
I’ve been using this same battery for over four years now, and as you can see, it is still in excellent condition (99% capacity) due to these protocols.
