What's the Linux hack/solution to changing the battery charging thresholds? I really enjoy that feature with this W10/Laptop right now. Battery has been at 75% for the last two days, so it's not charging and just being sustained while my laptop is running entirely from the plugged in charger unless I'm mistaken. I really enjoy that. Windows also seems to have gotten much better at power efficiency overall.


There's a utility called TLP that can get you most of the way there. It's not perfect, but I've found it useful on the newer thinkpads with dual batteries (one embedded + one removable).
