XPG XENIA 15 KC has a battery protection design to prevent the loss of battery life over time due to constant charging and discharging cycles, in order to help lengthen the lifespan of your notebook.
In case the adapter is being plugged in when battery capacity is already over the default 90% value, the system will prevent charging the battery further. If you want to charge your battery up to 100%, please plug your AC when the battery is below 90% capacity.
Users can set different battery charging limits for their notebook by using Intel® NUC Software Studio that comes preinstalled with all Xenia 15 KC notebooks.
If your notebook stops charging even when the battery has fallen below 90%, check the battery charge limit setting in the Intel® NUC software studio as indicated in the sample picture below for any manual setting change.
If you have uninstalled Intel® NUC Software Studio, you can still download it separately from XPG Xenia 15 KC download page.
In a quiet environment and in specific ambient conditions, a high-pitched sound may occur due to the vibrations and friction of power components on the circuit board. This high-pitched sound is a normal physical phenomenon and does not affect your notebook's safety and performance.
The XENIA 15 KC draws fresh air from inlets located at the bottom of the unit, and expels hot air at the sides and rear, just like the vast majority of Portable PCs.
To ensure efficient heat dissipation, we suggest to avoid placing the XENIA 15 KC on a soft surface and to provide ample space for airflow so your XENIA 15 KC can ventilate properly.
Failure to do so will cause fans to spin longer and louder, and may cause performance degradation or even system shutdown for overheat protection in extreme cases.
