Battery decaying fast 90k mah

So i have Asus tuf F15 with the 90k battery. After a year usage my battery has decayed 14% ( thats alot considering its 90k unit). Laptop is plugged in almost all the time meaning battery shouldnt keep charging right?

I know batteries decay but they shouldnt this fast right? If i had 47k model that would mean my battery would be almost 30% dead only after a year.

14% over a year is fine depending on usage. The battery is rated to deteriorate by 20% after 300-500 charge cycles. If you actually use it on battery every day and manage to use 1 cycle per day for a year (365 cycles), that's actually well within the expected deterioration rate.

Have you been limiting the battery charge between 60 and 80% with myASUS app or g-Helper? Do care that every time you leave PC off or in bios plugged these programs won't work out of windows so your battery will keep charging.

Dude that's a bs, do you even know how those apps working?

All those functionality is actually a part of bios, and those apps only manipulate it's state.

I using Ghelper for long time and battery does not charging over the limit even when laptop is off.
I left my fa506icb yesterday with 60% battery, plugged charger today and battery led immediately glows white which mean battery already charged to a limit.

Ever heard that keep battery fully charged all the time is not good for it health at all?

Plz don't keep your battery at 100% all the time, it's bad for its health. The opposite also applies, don't drain fully the batter till it reaches 0% or close to it.

When you bought it what was it's battery health.Maybe it was already less from the beginning

Keeping the battery at 100%, even if not charging to it, will harm its health. Those batteries love staying between 20-80%. If it's plugged in all the time, limit the charging level to 80%, it should largely improve the decaying speed.
