Model: Legion 5 2021 (11800h + 3060) (model: 82JH005JAX)

Describe the issue:
The battery keeps down when connected to charger when playing games in performance mode. So for example, I started at 60% and after 2 hours of playing it went down to 44%

What have you tried already?: Nothing

The power brick I have is the 230W.

When did it start producing the issue: I think it was there all the time but never tested it properly to confirm it

Did you install new drivers or software?: No

BIOS version H1CN49WW

Is there a way to know how power the laptop is getting from the power brick?

Yes it does happens with 230W adapter

Without stopping? So if I for example would leave it on a heavy stress test for a long time it would eventually reach 0?

Probably not?

warm grail Probably not?

Because it previous laptops I had it would drop by 5% max and would stop eventually. But with this one it keeps dropping as long as I'm playing

If you worry too much you can get the 300W brick

It doesn't worry me much. I'm just concerned whether I have a defective power brick or something

idt it should happen

#

@warm grail

#

#

so

Huh

wanton isle Nov 24, 2022, 7:10 AM

#

even at max usage in game 130 gpu, 45 cpu, 25 for other laptop stuff

#

30w still left

#

No?

#

Electricity conversion rate is not 100%

wanton isle Nov 24, 2022, 7:11 AM

#

well then maybe it would happen

#

should 230 rated give atleast 210

#

lol

#

Though it’s not odd for 3060 unit with 230W to drain battery

#

It’s long been known to do so kinda

Though if you want you can try to unplug and reconnect the charger

However usually only going to a 300W charger truly “fix” the thing
