Hi. Have you done a calibration of the BSM and OS etc. i.e.
Charge to 100% for at least an hour
Unplug and run until auto power off.
Wait as many hours as you can and power on
Run the recovered voltage on the battery until a second auto shut down
Charge to 100%
Reset you Battery charge limit to your pref, mine is at 78%
Check the cycles etc.
Do this once a month for, say, three months . . .
I almost never do that because it’s extremely annoying. Just did it today though. Battery’s back at 100%, cycles updated from 7 to 12, and the max vs. designed capacity value dropped from about 88% to about 84%.
I did this for over a year. The cycles have gone smoothly and I’m on 106 after 32 months but the wear became crazy in April 2024, it doubled so I stopped and over the last few moths things have not changed. I’ll do one more at the end of Feb 2025 for it’s third birthday.
| Date | WEAR | Cycles | BCL | NOTES: Time of day and other Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Period | 6.0 | 9# | 78 | 17:48 |
| Apr 10th | 6.4 | 99 | 100 | ??? |
| Apr 11th | 6.6 | 99 | 100 | Fully dischaged and recharged the battery. Since then the wear has been between 10.4 and 11.1 ?? |
| Apr 12th | 11.1 | 100 | 100 | 10:52 & 11.5 @ 11:28 & 11.6 @ 12:48 Start dischaged @ 2030 |
| Apr 13th | 12.4 | 101 | 100 | Discharged at 01:30 Restart @ 06:08 Died after 3min. Function error in Firefox video, no pause. |
| Apr 14th | 11.1 | 101 | 90 | |
| Oct 30th | 12.4 | 106 | 78 |
A few days ago the wear was 13.7% but then I accidentality didn’t power it and it went done to 50% from the 78% I keep it at and the wear when down over 1% ???
This is quite hard on the battery so not something I want to do often but after after the above success I did it a second time and the cycles did change from 42 → 54. I don’t think the cycles have tracked accurately during this time and it is still at least 250+ off but I will see what comes next.
Edit I think the key to this was the time left powered off.
I understand it seems ‘hard’ on the battery, bu they are design ed to charged at 100% all ways and with that a 2 year warrantee.
With the new 61W Framework are rolling out a BIOS bit to slightly drain the 61W if it has been on charge for 120h, although the text in the topic says it can be charged to 100% for a year.
So on that basis I don’t see much concern to have it as 100% for 24 once a month.
I would call it a bit of a work out but not hard work 
As I understand it any extreme puts greater stress on the battery but particularly I was thinking about the deep discharge followed by extended time powered off which can lead to permanent damage to the cells by over discharging them. The charging to 100% for a few hours is is also bad but I can see a greater benefit as the battery is often actually still charging for some time after reporting 100%.
