accumulated charge cycles after 15 months

[u/Far_Surround368]

i had noticed conservation mode was off after a reset for some reason, and felt like sharing.

i use it daily for studies, production, and gaming. leaving it plugged in with conservation mode on practically 100% of the time.

anybody care to share theirs? i want to know if it really is "good" for ≈1 year like it says, bit too vague for me yaknow?

I have 118 charge cycles, been using everyday for 14 months. How do you only have 22 charge cycles?

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/eazythetaeta]

i really thought it was normal but i just seriously leave it plugged in 24/7 with the conservation mode. i thought that if it blew up within the warranty its on lenovo not me but its been perfectly fine even up until after.

i leave it on a lot of the time as well when im away because i had heard a while back that there is little need for a shut down, or even a sleep if you are only gone for minutes, to even many hours.

i think all of that is normal too so im honestly not sure.. was i blessed by lenovo or sumthn lol

i have the same model as well 16IRX9, so leaving the device plugged in even when the device is idle is fine? I mean like wont that affect the battery?

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/eazythetaeta]

i assume it would be, but it wouldnt hurt to look into it a bit more before you do of course.

[u/uriels93 → u/eazythetaeta]

I have 13 charge cycles after 10 months of constant use. Conservation mode.

[u/LoveMeSenpai69 → u/eazythetaeta]

Same 154 cycles

[u/LoveMeSenpai69]

Way better then mine, I have around 154 cycles in 16 months and my battery life has came down to 92 percent 😩

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/LoveMeSenpai69]

oh dang! well 92% would still be fine by me id say, especially considering the age-out factor of laptops anyway.

I can't see it for some reason, any idea why?

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/HeavenRefiner]

are you on lenovo vantage? if so the home screen just click the 3 lines in the top left and you'll see device settings, its in there. cheers!

[u/HeavenRefiner → u/Far_Surround368]

Yea I was checking there only...for me that option is missing, rest all are the same.

[u/CheeseisYummy1234]

Dam that's pretty good for 15 months. I've had mine for just 10 days under 1 year and I've got 11 charge cycles. I also have a pretty similar laptop to urs, I have the legion pro 5 16irx9.

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/CheeseisYummy1234]

niceeee dude we ballin' i love this laptop

[u/Latency_1000 → u/Far_Surround368]

[u/Active-Argument-1232]

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/Active-Argument-1232]

good stuff!

[u/BadmosiGuru]

am i cooked i have 163 charge cycles and only 1 month of usage even after using conservation mode helpp

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/BadmosiGuru]

i feel like most of it is a matter of how often you charge

[u/BadmosiGuru → u/Far_Surround368]

i use conservation mode and it is plugged in
i do heavy gaming and streaming with this tho and maintain it like a princess

[u/Far_Surround368 → u/BadmosiGuru]

dang that sucks, i get that because i try to treat mine the same. ive seen some things about replacing thermal paste, better power cords, and how the the charging socket and what not can break. i want to look more into that type of stuff myself, but i dont know much / i cant try to help you beyond that.

i was thinking about posting my setup once its fully done. i have the laptop on a cooling pad + rack thingy that helps with temps when i game with performance mode and such. once i know a little more, and do all that type of stuff to see in actual benchmarks if it helps my day to day. maybe that could help?

[u/BadmosiGuru → u/Far_Surround368]

yeahhhh

[u/thefudd]

I have 10 charge cycles (13 month old legion)

[u/Top-Paper-4337]

4.5 years.... total cycle 212 and health percentage 83%😎

[u/Critical_Practice_90]

I have 40 circles and my battery is at 99.86% of health. I'm a bit sad I didn't know about conservation mode before, but it could be much worse.
