Battery Limiter on KDE

Please everyone: don’t get overexcited:

Most hardware is Defective by design because the manufacturer wants to sell more batteries. This is how you can test your support today:

sudo tlp-stat --battery

--- TLP 1.3.1 --------------------------------------------

+++ Battery Features: Charge Thresholds and Recalibrate
natacpi    = inactive (laptop not supported)
tpacpi-bat = inactive (laptop not supported)
tp-smapi   = inactive (laptop not supported)

[...]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/cycle_count                    = (not supported)
[...]

So I already know my Acer laptop is not supported and one of the reasons I’ll never buy one again…
