You can also append a time frame in seconds after battery_test to test how quickly your battery is discharging. My battery health is 95.65% after a year of taking good care of it! The test won’t work properly if you have your charger plugged in, as you can see from my results below. Simply open what’s known as the crosh terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T on your keyboard while in the Chrome browser and type in battery_test.
It’s basic, but the concept still applies. If batteries had a checkups like humans, this would be it. I’m not talking about the its physical charge – which you can see by looking at the bottom right side of your Chromebook’s shelf – but rather it’s heath. There’s actually a little-known, easy way check on how your battery is doing.
#Chromebook battery status full
There’s a lot of battery science and conflicting information out there on the internet regarding best practices here, but I like to keep it simple and unplug it if it’s almost full to prevent myself from overcharging it and plug it in when it’s almost dead so I don’t forget and accidentally let it die. Instead, I recommend charging it until it’s about 80 or 90 percent full and unplugging it when it’s closer to 20 or 10 percent. Instead, I imagine you would wake up one morning after consistently over-watering it and realize it looks sickly or even that it’s dead. If it’s full of water, you should not water it, right? My thumb is anything but green, but I’m sure doing so probably wouldn’t have any immediate negative effect. If the plant needs water, you should water it. What is the best practice to follow after you take your shiny new Chromebook out of its box? Well, I think the best analogy for this situation is that of a plant. With all of that out of the way, I often have people ask me when they should charge their device or unplug it. So then, when should you charge your Chromebook? In other words, if you want your Chromebook to last for the entirely of its lifespan, it’s recommended that you charge and discharge it appropriately. So as you can see, the issue isn’t directly with over-charging your laptop, but rather with the battery temperature remaining elevated due to keeping it plugged in and eroding the ions, directly contributing to the longevity – or lack thereof – of your Chromebook’s battery. Manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of Li-ion in most consumer products as being between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles. In theory such a mechanism should work forever, but cycling, elevated temperature and aging decrease the performance over time. The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. According to Battery University’s analysis on the matter, since I’m not a scientist: Because of this, it’s actually safe to leave your Chromebook charging overnight or for the duration of its active daily usage: but that doesn’t mean you ought to. The idea is that modern batteries have the ability to stop accepting a charge once they’re full.
Nowadays, that’s not really an issue thanks to most of our technology utilizing lithium-ion batteries as opposed to alkaline combined with a little something called ‘trickle charging’. Way back when, leaving a device plugged into a wall outlet for excessive amounts of time would cause the battery inside it to expand or explode, rendering it useless or even causing harm to those around it. Today, we’ll explore whether or not this is has any adverse affects on your device and give you some tips and tricks for managing the health of your battery. Understandably, it gives them a sense of comfort and assurance. Some people even leave their Chromebooks plugged in overnight like they do with their phones. For those who use their Chromebooks as a desktop via a docking station or simply don’t like to risk travelling with a laptop that’s not at 100% battery before they take off, they often leave it plugged in for the entire time they’re using it.
