I’ve been testing the dGPU and noticed the power draw on battery can be significant while gaming (~20W). I was curious what would happen if I just ignored that and let the laptop continue running. What I found is that the laptop doesn’t die, but it appears the power limits will adjusted when the battery reaches ~30%, resulting in the battery actually charging up again. This seems like an unnecessary battery cycle, however it does mean you don’t have to continually change your power draw and game settings to continue your session, just let the built in controller do it’s thing.
