This is not a machine that runs 24/7 - obviously. It's a laptop.

How's your battery life? This machine is a new to me model. It turned
three years old this past June. Due to it's previous owner rarely
allowing it to run the battery down; the battery has lost 15% of it's capacity. The system UEFI records a total of 12 cycles on it prior to my getting my hands on it. In simpler words, they left it plugged into the charger nearly all the time.
That's not what you should be doing with them, *if* you care about the battery pack. I do, because, a bad battery pack defeats the purpose of
the laptops portability.

There was a time when people would post their uptimes.
$ uptime
01:37:30 up 1142 days, 9:50, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.00

That's at my personal colo on my intranet. To get a higher
uptime, I'd have to vpn into the office. (With the advent
of kernel livepatches, uptimes can get extreme.)

This machine doesn't run 24/7 because I have actual towers that do. I actually use it as a laptop; not a replacement for a machine that's designed to run 24/7/365 on AC mains.
To each their own of course.

I don't actually have a desktop, just this laptop, but I at least try to improve my battery health by using tlp to make it stop charging at 70%.

I take the machine to bed, do some light reading, then leave it to one
side overnight, still showing around 75% charge. Maybe the next
afternoon I plug it into the charger. A couple of hours later it's
back to full, ready for the next night.
So it's not normally my main machine during the day -- I unless I take
it to a client's place.
Even the previous laptop I had before this maintained good battery life until the end -- done in by a broken screen.

I'm glad you got the point I was making. :) I know it's a minor distinction - but a desktop isn't a tower. A tower is a vertical beastie. A desktop is horizontal.
The typical rule of thumb is 20% to 80% range. YMMV depending on--
the exact chemical makeup.
