This is why when you run on battery, the CPU will be locked to a lower frequency and also graphics performance will be limited.

The battery alone also obviously cannot provide the full power either. What this means is that even though you are 'plugged in', potentially it will also draw power from the battery, and then top up the battery when available. The 'balance' of the power is then drawn from the battery. The power supplies (ie the power bricks) often cannot supply the full power that the CPU/GPU etc can draw. Now, on the Dell front, you need to consider that a number of their laptops use hybrid power. It will significantly prolong the number of charges vs charging to 100% and draining to 0%. The general consensus for maximising battery life when being used is to keep it between 40% and 80% charge. Pulled the battery out and just used the power brick. To maximise lithium-ion batteries life, you would pull it out and store it at 40% in a low temperature environment. The Linux equivalent for the Dell Power Manager installs with a single command and once I get through the voluminous user guide is pretty easy to use.You don't say what Dell you're using, but here are some generalised comments about Li-Ion batteries and using Dell laptops plugged in. I really need to get Linux reinstalled on this machine. I'm reminded of the line from Kill Bill "You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?" I returned to the store and installed Depp Power Manager (dodging MSFT's attempt to get me to sign in with my Live account) and Viola! I now have a fully functioning Dell Power Manager.

In the end I get a message that I need to install something from the MSFT store. During installation I get some popups including one that is too small (on a QHD screen) to read so I cross my fingers and click the blue button which I presume will do whatever needs to be done. Now I return to the Dell page and click the download link for Dell Power Manager. (Well Done again, MSFT!) Now I recall that the entries used to be found under "Installed Software" in older versions of Windows so I search for Install and find what I'm looking for.

(Well done MSFT!) Go to settings and search Software - find entries related to Software updates. No uninstall option is found in the store. I open the MSFT store so I can uninstall Dell Power Manager in preparation to install directly from Dell. See the system event log for failure information. Warning! An unexpected error occurred during the last action. Now I'm presented with a black popup that states I thought it wise to provide Dell some feedback so I clicked the "Give us your feedback" icon on the lower left corner of the Dell Power Manager app. Well done Dell! This is not exactly a frictionless experience.

There are no drivers that meet the filter criteria you've applied. I click through, enter my service tag and enter "DPM" in search criteria. Try checking the URL/address for errors or visit the Support page and select your product to begin a new search. It may be that the link you followed to get here is not working. We couldn't find the file you are looking for. When I open it I see a popup that tells me to install the Dell DPM component directly from Dell and provides a "More Info" link. I go with the Windows store since that is likely to be the least friction. Google finds me a page at that tells me it is available in the store or directly from Dell. Today I'm running Windows (installed from the MSFT download, not the factory installation so I decided to do it using the Dell Power Manager app. I've used the Custom charging scheme on my XPS 13 (9370) and set it either using the Linux app or directly in the BIOS.
