Battery life thread: discussion, support and tips

[biketool]

I wonder if we could set a low cpupower setting and then launch different apps with a script to turn on more CPUs or even the two big CPUs for web browser, then drop back to the standatd 1-2 small CPUs at low mhz/volt for normal use once the GUI app process dies.

As I mentioned in another thread, there are issues with the battery "fuel gauge"

As further evidence of a faulty fuel gauge, here's a screenshot showing the battery fully charged (was plugged into the charger for several hours) and the charger has disconnected, and yet the battery meter thinks the battery is at 34% and won't budge from there. This is on Mobian (although I think all distros use the same battery driver). It would be great if this battery driver was changed to work on battery voltage rather so that we can also swap batteries without needing to reset it.
