I'm trying to conserve my new laptop's battery for many years to come. Can you help me set this up optimally (probably a way to have it automatically stop charging the battery after it reaches some value between 60 to 85%)?
I have read a fair bit about tlp, tp-smapi, and tpacti-bat online, but end up being more confused about it than understanding which one is best for a newer machine (most posts and comments I've read are ~8 years old); and how to install and configure the battery with whichever one is best.
Thank you in advance! Here is information regarding my setup :-)
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Model: Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 4
- Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 7840U
- Kernal: Linux 6.8.0-31-generic
(It's probably unnecessary, but in the terminal, the command lsmod yields:
...:~$ lsmod
