yes, i was also searching for the same long time ago, read one post which said that this feature is enabled in the bios itself, if it's not in the bios, then no software can mimic that feature.. :(

i think you can get more choices if you broaden your criteria and consider other brands as well, i see that you have asked the same question here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks/171536-gaming-laptop-within-50k-55k.html
so rest of the discussion will continue in that thread..

Okay I am sure this has been asked countless times before,but I really don't feel like going through all the previous posts.
Can anyone tell me how to limit battery charging to say,80% while the laptop is plugged into the charger?
Need to save those precious discharge cycles.

Download and install dell quick set app from your laptop driver page, now open windows mobility center, it'll have the desktop charge mode and longevity mode option, in my laptop I can just press a dedicated button on the laptop to open this.

Just Loving my new inspiron 17r SE :D :D

BTW just wanted to know should i remove the battery from the laptop when i game on it ?

I tend to plug in my laptop to AC plug 24 x 7 . Would that affect the battery life ?

Also , My 130 W power brick ( with a US connector as i got the laptop from US ) gets HOT while gaming . Is that normal ?

It gets hot to an extent that it gets uncomfortable to touch it . Plz suggest if this is normal .

Use desktop charge mode from windows mobility center, also turn on battery longevity mode.

An example of what it looks after you install dell quick set

Mine has extra options for battery, will post a pic tomorrow, net connection is completely fu(cked up atm.

Update:

Here's what mine looks like:

PS: Aero is turned of due to auto battery saver setting which can be configured from those dell battery options, I chose this settings to maximize battery life after a single charge.

Longevity mode is used when charging the laptop after say 50-60% discharge and on a non regular cycle, desktop mode is used for continuous charge.

Well, now your search ends :p

Longevity mode blocks charging upto 80%, desktop mode does the same upto 60%.

for all those guys who like to have their drivers updated, AMD's new drivers are launched 13.3beta2, but don't download it, it'll break the enduro support and to make that work again is literally pain in the @$$...
i installed it, and now have to restore the system.. :-x:evil:
so beware guys and don't download those.. (had performance increase for tomb raider :()..
