Looking for guidance on using the Dell Inspiron 5570 for game development with battery concerns.
Hello, I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5570 for game development, mainly with Unity. I've upgraded it a lot—added 32GB RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 1TB Ant Esport SATA drive, and several smaller SSDs. Despite these upgrades, my laptop's battery keeps failing, requiring replacement almost three times. I recently bought this battery here: [link]. Since I often need the laptop running, I'm worried about its longevity. I remember BIOS options that could help, but it seems they're no longer available for OEM batteries. I'm trying to figure out better ways to maintain the battery's health while keeping performance high. Any tips or advice from other developers or Dell users would be really helpful! Thanks!
I understand your concern about the battery. It seems the standard limit is set, but the last one I took out failed completely. I’m wondering if keeping it plugged in is better than replacing it, or if there’s another way to manage power.
