How to Limit Battery Charge to 80 on HP Omen Laptops

Do you want to set a battery limit on your HP Omen laptop? In this post, we’ll show you how to limit the battery charge to 80 on HP Omen laptops.

Laptop batteries degrade faster than any other component. Overcharging is the reason behind this. Overcharging happens when you charge your battery after it has been fully charged. To put it simply, charging a battery beyond 100% is overcharging. Overcharging a Lithium-ion battery generates thermal runaway and raises pressure, resulting in an unstable state inside the battery. This reduces the battery’s lifetime. Laptops are the most common usage for lithium-ion batteries. When you neglect to remove the charger after your laptop has been fully charged, you are overcharging it. Overcharging can be avoided if the battery charge is limited after a particular percentage.

Some laptop makers have added a capability to restrict the battery charge in hardware to assist consumers to enhance the battery life of their notebooks. These options may be accessed straight from your system BIOS. However, not everyone is tech-savvy. As a result, accessing the system BIOS settings without sufficient understanding might result in significant system damage. As a result, several laptop manufacturers have created applications that allow users to access hardware-level settings without opening the BIOS.

Luckily, some HP laptop like HP Omen has a feature called ” Battery care function”. The BIOS battery care function stops charging the battery at a specific percentage based on the customer’s desire. If the battery % falls below the preset level, it will begin charging the battery to the preset level. That is the only feature/option available at this time.

Here’s how to set the battery limit on an HP Omen laptop using the Battery Care Function.

1.  First of all, shut down your HP laptop.

2. Press the F10 key repeatedly to go to the BIOS mode.

3. Navigate to the System Configuration tab and then select Battery Care Function using the down arrow key.

4. Here, you can choose either 100%, 80%, or even 50%.

5. Once selected, press the F10 key and select Yes.
