Something like Vaio Battery Care Function?

Hi there.
Recently I've bought a S12 ultrabook. Well, it seems fine, specially with it's 4 GB of RAM. I've searched the support pages and the only power manager I've found for the device was the SCM feature with it's ECO engine. It's kind of nice. But not enough.
On Vaio or Lenovo ThinkPad there is some feature that allows you to manually manage you battery charging. On Vaio it's called "Battery Care Function" which allows you to stop charging the battery above 50% or 80% when you're plugged in. On ThinkPads also there is some ThinkVintage Power Manager app. which allows you something like Care Function. Well, it's a cool feature you know. It's literally saving your device's battery life. The question is: "Is there something alike for MSI?" Or can I do this with some 3rd party application maybe?

Thanks

 

No, but so long as there are not large temperature swings and you don't repeatedly do small discharge/recharge cycles it should not really make a difference, but I could see a feature like that being nice for someone who unplugs it for lots of short periods. Maybe talk to the MSI rep on here about it.

 

MSI doesn't have such utility available. But it can be done if they wish to by inserting interception point into the embedded controller.
However, as Meaker said, it is slightly more beneficial for someone who frequently connects/disconnects the AC adapter otherwise it isn't going to be much of benefit.
Also, battery life usually have about 500 cycles which will last about a year or more. If you wish to preserve the battery life and are not a mobile user then leave it charged at 40% then remove it for long-term storage.
Or, you can choose to ignore about this small issue and just enjoy your notebook the way it should be.
