Framework
Capability
- 3 presets: Full Capacity Mode, Balance Mode, and Maximum Life Span mode.
- Default threshold values of these 3 preset modes are set at 100%, 80%, and 60%.
- Each preset threshold value can be customized between 100-80 %, 85-65 %, and 85-50 % respectively.
Dependencies
Depends on separate kernel module framework-laptop-kmod, that need to be installed.
https://github.com/DHowett/framework-laptop-kmod
framework-laptop-kmod module is supported by a third party and this extension/author is not in any way responsible for the kernel module installation, bugs or damages.
Testing charging threshold using command-line
After installing framework-laptop-kmod below sysfs path will be available and charging threshold/mode can be changed. Now user will be able to set charging threshold, using commandline and test charging behavior. Charging mode can be set by using echo command in terminal.
For example:
To apply threshold value of 60, the command would be.
Require root privileges
echo '60' | pkexec tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold
sudo also can be used in place of pkexec in the above commands as both sudo and pkexec can be use to run commands in root mode. To make use of polkit rules, the extension uses pkexec.
The current threshold value can also be read using cat command in terminal. For example, the laptops battery name in power supply sysfs is BAT0, command would be.
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold
Condition for applying threshold
- Accepted values for
charge_control_end_threshold: 1 - 100
If charging threshold are applied successfully using above commands, the extension is compatible.
