With Thinkpads under Linux it had long been a thing where you could use tp_smapi to set battery charge thresholds to something like 80 or 90 percent to extend battery life.
That's interesting, I didn't know that, thanks for the info  Smile

I don't really think it's intended
No, it really is intended.  It was written into Megi's Kernel for battery safety.  There was some good information on the Manjaro site that had links about this and why it was done.  Here is a link to that https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-...e/39446/21
oh good info to know!  Thanks for link Smile
