Battery charge
Holger Schuett:
Hi there,
has there ever been a tool for os2/ecs/Arcaos with which one could control the charging of a laptop battery?
I would like to have a possibility to change the start and end level for battery charging, for example start charging when less than 35% battery left and stop at 85%.
Cheers
Holger

No, we don't have such tools.
Battery Widget shows the level of battery.

I also seem to remember that the charging in electronics in a laptop do not allow you to control the charging of a battery in that way. In other words the software can not control this.

Hi Roderick,
I do not quite understand your reply. In Windows or Linux you can set the levels for charging the battery. Right now I do the following : I have a usb device with a linux mint installed. Using the TLP-Package one can set the start and stop point for the battery charging. This seems to get stored (in the bios?).When rebooting to Arcaos on the same machine the setiings remain as set. That made me wonder if there is something equivelant for os2/ecs/arcaos?

Hi Holger
That is an interesting feature request. It is called "Battery Charge Threshold" in some other platforms. The idea is to help you preserve the health of the battery by making it discharge and charge according to selected limits.
For example here it is the one that cames on "Lenovo Settings" for Thinkpads. (see attachment).
