@mmstick@lemmy.world I had a feature request, but I wasn’t sure if it belonged here or sent directly to System 76.
It would be wonderful if we could configure the maximum battery charge level. Many people (myself included) leave our laptops plugged in, and I am relatively confident it is bad for the battery to let it set at near 100% or at 100% essentially forever.
I suspect this would require a firmware update, and I don’t know if it would only be possible with the new laptop System 76 being developed from the ground up.
Anyway, I just wanted to throw it out there as I think it would be a great feature.
Yeah a number of laptop brands supports it, it can often be set with commands such as “sudo tlp setcharge 70 90 BAT0”, but as far as I can see system76 doesn’t support tlp as they have their own solution.
