Feature Request: Bypass Battery in Desktop-Mode

@Platos

How often do you use it as desktop or how often do you use your laptop generally?

Fair point, should indeed have included that, will also edit my comment with the following:
Anyway, it is my daily driver and I typically use it in desktop mode. Don’t know exactly how many hours a day/week. Typically at least 4 hours a day.
I don’t have another personal laptop/desktop, but I do have a separate one for work.

After using it for 6½ years the battery had ~80% of its original capacity and only about ~800 cycles used.

Yeah ok, that should be enough. I mean if you use a desktop-PC 6-8 years, you would also replace it probably. So and with Framework i just could buy a new battery and good is.

Ok that’s a decent amount of workload. I guess because you use it as a desktop with cable you have not so much cylces. As described above, it seems laptops can bypass battery per default. So this questions is basically solved i guess.

Laptops can already bypass battery, but you should be able to limit battery to 80% or lower, to prevent high voltages. Then you are ready to go for dekstop-usage (but make sure, your temperature is not to high in the device).
