    Battery capped at 80%


    Hey, so I was looking at setting and seeing how i can optimize my Acer Nitro 5 for the best performance. And when I was doing just browsing something caught my eye. It said that if my battery is capped at 80 then I would have more battery power. I turned it on and after a few hours i got annoyed because it was just stuck at 80%. I tried to change it back to max 100% but I forgot where I turned the feature on. Can you guys respond or hlp me with this problem please? Thanks!

    :)

    Battery capped at 80%

    Cat killed my CAP LOCK Beep sound :-(

    I've done the steps listed here before joining this forum. None of these work.
    but I do have it setup now to flash the window if I press the caps.
    I may just try the restore option and roll back drivers,,,
