i have set the limit to 90% in bios. then, i discovered something interesting. maybe just different from what i saw before.
i was expecting the battery level to show as 100%, just the charge limit being done in the background, but no it shows as 90% (limit), always.
there is a charge/ discharge going on constantly while plugging in and battery level is at 90% (limit), like it will flucturate between say 87 to 90. I thought it will always be 90% and that the battery will never be used while plugged in.
Appreciate if anyone has any insight to share, cheers!
Personally, I wouldn’t want it to show 100% when limited to a lower level. I’ve used Thinkpads which also have a battery limit, and it shows the real battery level, e.g. 80%. On Thinkpads you can control it via an app rather than the BIOS. I hope Framework eventually enables similar control from within the OS.
FYI I’ve seen someone report that even without setting a charge limit, if the power draw goes up enough (i.e. heavy load), it can discharge while plugged in, if the charger is a 60W charger and that wouldn’t happen with a 100W charger
