Why Laptop Battery Health is Important?
Nowadays, Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type of battery you will find in your mobile devices. Devices like Smartphones, laptops, tablets, SmartWatches, etc. The specialty of these Lithium-ion batteries is that they can charge at a quick rate and discharge at a steady rate. These Lithium-ion batteries have a high-energy density, in other words, these batteries can store more power and occupy less space. This character of lithium-ion batteries gives the manufacturers an advantage in making slim and light devices.

The battery cycle is the cycle of charging and discharging your battery in simple terms. Every time you charge your battery it will lose its capacity by certain decimals.
To minimize the loss due to the battery cycle keep your battery between 20% to 80%. Make sure your battery most of the time drain below 50%. Do not charge your battery up to 100% nor discharge it to 0% or during high temperatures. Otherwise, it will lead to lower battery capacity.
