Reduced battery life on Samsung PC

Does it feel like your battery charge's duration isn't as much as it used to be? If the battery just doesn't feel like it lasts that long anymore, don't lose hope. A function called Smart Battery Calibration can help reset your battery's performance and recalibrate its minimum and maximum charge so you can keep using it to its current maximum capacity.

What to do if your Samsung PC battery does not fully charge
Laptop batteries will live longer if you don't charge them to 100%. For this reason, Samsung PCs include technology to limit the battery's maximum charge to 85% on purpose, so the battery will not fully charge. While we recommend leaving this feature on, it can be turned off if you'd prefer your battery to charge to 100%, such as before a long trip
