If you are on a stock rom without root on most us variants it will show 100% but once you root you see that it's really at 80%. Before I rooted it, it showed 100% but when I rooted it i lost the ability to go the additional 20%. After some digging I'm positive it's to prevent overheating which can cause fires..(02-01-2021, 02:36 AM)Regula Wrote: It's intended. The kernel limits the charging to prevent overheating.That seems odd, no other computer has to do that. Every other electronics battery charges to 100%.
I got a reply from Pine64 support and they asked me to try Mobian, so I did and it charged to 99%. But three other distros I tried all charged to mid 80s only:
Plasma Mobile, PostmarketOS, and Manjaro Lomiri.
