    Questions about laptops (how to store the battery, viewiel power it draws under full load, etc)?


    Hello,

    i have the HP 17-ca1216ng and according to the manufacturer it is stated to have a power consumption of 45 watts, i assume that this is in desktop mode.

    Question 1) But how much power does it draw when you watch videos on Youtube or specially downloaded videos, e.g. from OTR ?

    Question 2) I want to use the laptop as a second desktop PC and remove and store the battery. What is the best way to do this so that the battery is not damaged over time?

    Question 3) How can I find out if the laptop has a protection against deep discharge? What is the technical term for this protection? I have almost no experience with laptops.

    Thanks

    :)
