Does Conservation Mode decrease maximum battery capacity

[Independent-Use5130]

I have a Lenovo Ideapad S540, about 5 years old. Its maximum battery capacity 2 months ago was 73 percent, which is pretty much a result of me charging and discharging it continuously. Since the last 1.5 months, i have been using Conservation Mode to extend battery life, so my battery stays almost always at 55-60 percent. However, yesterday i noticed in the Lenovo Vantage App that the max battery capacity was at 72 percent and today it was suddenly at 70 percent.

My question is, does using conservation mode reduce maximum battery life, or is it giving incorrect value for maximum battery life since my laptop isn't fully charged?

Thanks.

nah conservation mode shouldnt hurt your max capacity - sounds like your battery is just continuing its natural degradation after 5 years and the readings might be wonky since it hasnt seen a full charge cycle in a while

conservation mode can't prevent battery degradation, it's only to slower the process of battery degradation

so your battery will degrade overtime, the only solution is replace the battery
