Hi,
Lately I’ve been seeing that Battery charging limit setting in KDE plasma does not persist, so I tried the solution present in this link: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/laptop-battery-charging-limit/138704
The basic gist of it was to create a systemd service that manually sets the value in sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold on boot. This solution had been working fine until I installed tuf-manager from AUR and uninstalled it since it wasn’t able to set the inbuilt keyboard RGB modes.
Currently, the file sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold is missing and I’m unable to create it even as root. The setting to set charge limit is missing even from plasma settings.
Pls help out
If it’s missing, creating it would be useless. The file should be present if the property is detected in the first place. Check first what you have in /sys/class/power_supply (i.e.: ls /sys/class/power_supply). BAT1 is rather strange, unless your device has 2 batteries as the counting starts from 0.
ls /sys/class/power_supply yields the following output:
ACAD BAT1
It is kinda strange, but that wouldn’t make the charge_control_end_threshold to disappear.ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1 gives this output:
alarm capacity_level charge_full_design current_now device manufacturer power serial_number subsystem type voltage_min_design
capacity charge_full charge_now cycle_count hwmon2 model_name present status technology uevent voltage_now
Welcome to the forum!
Either your laptop manufacturer included battery charging limit support or they didn’t. If it does, then it’s up to the kernel to detect it. Nothing to do with the Desktop Environment.
Please post your system info as outlined here:
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Rather than providing the commercial reference of a computer or piece of hardware, it is usually better to directly ask the system to describe itself. On top of saving time to everyone, this also often provides more details, including something specific to the running system.
Below is a (not exhaustive) list of commands for retrieving system information.
[HowTo] Use the terminal / TTY …
Please also see:
What’s the output of:
ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1 | grep charge
If there is support, then you should see output like I see on my System76 Gazelle (gaze17-3060-b) :
charge_control_end_threshold
charge_control_start_threshold
charge_full
charge_full_design
charge_now
Pulled system information using the inxi -v7azy command. It’s output is as follows:
