Lenovo ThinkPad T470 and T470s laptops are known to be tough and efficient, but their battery performance still needs to be maintained to last long. Many users don't realize that daily habits can affect battery life, especially on laptops that are often used for daily work or online lectures.
Here it is light maintenance tips that you can do to keep your ThinkPad battery healthy and long-lasting.
ThinkPads have sophisticated power management systems, but leaving the laptop plugged in for hours on end can reduce the battery’s life cycle. Ideally, limit charging to 80–90%. Some models even offer a “Battery Conservation Mode” that can be activated via Lenovo Vantage.
If the battery is often left to 0% or completely dead, it can accelerate the damage of the battery cells. Try to start charging when the battery has reached 20-30%. This is a relatively safe zone to extend the life of the battery.
Instead of turning off the laptop completely every time it is not in use, activate the mode Sleep or Hibernate. In addition to saving battery, this mode also keeps applications open and shortens startup time. This is especially useful for ThinkPad users who work on the move.
Do not use your laptop on a mattress, pillow, or any closed surface as this can cause overheating. High temperatures can accelerate battery degradation. Ensure good air circulation on your laptop, or use a cooling pad if necessary.
Occasionally, calibrate the battery by charging it to full (100%), then use it until the battery is completely empty (0%), then recharge it to full without interruption. This will help the system read the battery capacity more accurately.
