Bios Feature request: Lowest Battery Percentage at which charging begins

It’s been on my wish list as well:

What are some of the improvements you would like to see from the new Intel 12th Gen Framework Laptop?

From a usability stand point, touch screen would make additional sense when it can be done with a flip screen, with minimal wobble / resonance in the hinges. Putting a touch screen into the Framework Laptop as it stands at the moment would minimize its usefulness. I opt for the following improvements: Better speakers, with Atmos support. Better sound overall. 100% DCI P3 Fn-Lock indicator (without hacking the EC or losing Caps Lock indicator) Hardware wifi toggle switch as well. High imped…

And it’s definitely an issue seen by / experienced by / known to some users:

[TRACKING] Battery flipping between charging and discharging / Draws from battery even on AC

With AC connected and battery charge at the set threshold, the battery status as reported by the kernel often flips between charging and discharging, sometimes even within one or two seconds. (This can be seen using the Gnome battery icon or upower -d). AC is always reported as online. This also means I get a constant stream of udev events starting tlp, which then notices that AC is still online and does nothing, but this could probably be solved by tweaking udev rules. Some more observations: …

Battery Charging Hysteresis Support

It would be great if one could configure a hysteresis function for the battery charging subsystem. For example to let the firmware charge the battery to 80% (upper hysteresis threshold), but, after that event, only re-charge it if the capacity drops down below - say - 70% (lower hysteresis threshold). This should increase the battery live very much for devices connected to a charger for extended periods. Ideally the upper and lower thresholds would be configurable via the BIOS and the operatin…
