Hey all,
This is my first time posting here, and this felt like the most appropriate sub forum for my problem.
I use my laptop for long, un-attended hours, like sometimes week or days without shutting it down once(It's usually downloading my steam games, or itunes library, I am also using it as a plex server). It's plugged in for all that time because I can't attend to it's charging needs. I am worried about my battery because now the backup the battery gives me when I sometimes take it off the table seems shortened than it's original backup times(Now, less than an hour when using internet and watching a movie). HWInfo64 says the battery wear is at 30%. This battery is almost 2 years old now, is this much wear abnormal for a 2 year old battery? In my use case scenario? I have been using it 24x7(as much as possible) for almost more than 6 months. I own an Asus ROG GL552VW, which has 4Cells 48 Whrs battery with a Core i7-6700HQ, GTX 960M, 8GB 2133MHz DDR4, 1TB 5400 RPM SATA 2.5" with Windows 10 Home 1709.
Update: If I decide to replace my battery after a few months, will everything be back to normal or am I harming my laptop in the long run permanently? What are some good practices, if any, for running a laptop-server?
