Battery continues to charge at a slow rate even after activating Max Lifespan Mode through myASUS.
this asus zep g15 rog 2022 ga503rm is only a few months old. i turned on maximum lifespan mode to cap battery charging at %60, which works fine. however, when plugged in, the battery gradually rises even though myasus limits it to %60. i’m worried about increasing wear and want to stop this issue. hwinfo shows higher wear levels. during boot, orange LED lights appear, indicating charging. in about 5-6 seconds to desktop, the battery charges only 3-4%. this long-term damage seems linked to fast charging. the cover sticker mentions a fast charging feature, but i think that’s the cause. how can i disable fast charging? there’s no BIOS option for asus that allows this. thanks in advance and god bless
I plan to unplug after shutdown and only reconnect when I reach the desktop. This might help. The laptop is just over six months old, brand new, and my battery wear is already at 6.2 according to hwinfo. Note that the wear level indicator fluctuated between 4.7 and 4.1 a few months ago, so it's unclear what's happening.
Updated: No changes made, just rechecked everything from USBs to my mice and unplugged the power cord for a night. Battery was at 66%, now it's 61% and it keeps draining even when the laptop is off. Maybe it should be shut down completely? I’ll try turning it on for 15 seconds this time, otherwise I’m not sure what to do. This laptop has been great so far—after fixing most of the heat issues I’ve had for months by cleaning the SSD with a disk defraggler. (But the BIOS still seems to be having trouble.) I’ll post an update tomorrow with the results, hoping it’s positive.
I believe the issue is finally resolved.
1. Right after shutting down normally: unplug everything except the main power cord.
2. Keep it that way for a night.
3. Morning: unplug everything again, just like before, but this time also unplug the power cord.
4. Restart the laptop normally and wait until the desktop appears.
5. Plug in the power cord quickly.
6. Connect any USB devices if necessary.
The battery was at 61% yesterday, and it remains at 61% this morning—thank God, Jesus helped me figure this out after months of trouble.
