For the past few months I have put my computer into hibernate when I am finished with it because i need to turn it back on so frequently. Does putting your computer into hibernate mode kill your battery?!?!?!?

Hibernate mode uses a little battery power. I don't know how or why, but it does.
I too like to hibernate my laptop so when I need it I can turn it on quickly, but the battery does drain. Although it would probably take a month to fully drain a full battery.

no hibernation did not kill your battery. What may have happened is the following: did you leave your laptop plugged into mains all the time without allowing your battery to reset its recharge memory? if so, your battery would not maintain your recharge settings to full because it was not allowed to slowly discharge fully once in a while. And also pulling your cord out all the time can loosen the connector to where the cord plugs into the battery connector, if that becomes damaged the laptop battery will not keep a good charge, and your battery can then discharge fully and not be able to be recharged. Have your battery checked by a qualified store like battery plus to make fully sure your battery is really dead, a new one can cost between 80-130, don't pay that if you don't have to.

making use of hibernation won't harm your gadget in any way. as properly, putting it in hibernate mode has actual no positioned on ingredient different than an extremely slow drain on the battery. all the gadget RAM is written to the no longer hassle-free stress, so all information and courses are precisely as they have been earlier hibernating. turn the pc decrease back on is faster than a capability off boot with the aid of fact the pc isn't booting, it incredibly is purely copying those information decrease back to the gadget RAM from the HDD with out any applications wanting to be started/booted. Hibernation is a deeper sleep than purely Sleep mode, saving extra capability. it incredibly is something to learn: whilst your pc is going darkish and looks to no longer be functioning, try urgent the important on the keyboard which will change the pc from making use of the internal demonstrate to an exterior demonstrate and decrease back. it incredibly is often something like the F3/F4/F7 key whilst pressed with the Fn key. Your pc would not get "drained" from sitting in hibernation or some funky a million/2 sleep as somebody ridiculously mentioned.
