I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu, and I was kind of frustrated when I found out that there was no way to set battery thresholds on Linux. On Windows, I can choose to limit charge to 60% (the laptop stops charging at 60% and resumes charge at 58%, in order to preserve battery life). I tried setting up the same procedure with tlp, but it only works on Lenovo ThinkPads. My computer is an ASUS VivoBook S14, I am running a dual boot Windows 10 - Ubuntu 16.04.



I wanted to know if there was any piece of software that could control the battery charge ? Or maybe a way to use tlp in order to set battery thresholds ?

  • In Windows 10 I set battery threshold a couple months ago on my Dell based laptop. I see in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS it is frozen at 66% threshold ever since.
