    It’s probably to avoid it being left charged all the time and potentially swelling into a ‘spicy pillow’

      I don’t think I’ve discharged a laptop battery below 80% since 2011…

        Anecdotal I know, but I had an old Alienware laptop battery swell and get fat and become unusable once.

        So it can happen, but I think it’s rare.
