All (inc Framework Support ! )
There are a number of posts on the CMOS battery (CMOSB) , the need to charge the PC for 24 hours to ensure it is fully charged and the PC will switch on without the power supply attached for at least 30 days.
Support have also confirmed that there isn’t any monitoring of the CMOSB possible with any utility program. This means as some people have done, opening the box and checking that way.
So making the assumption that once the main battery is charged after say an hour (with the supplied Framework charger) that the only current supplied is that needed to charge the CMOSB?
If so and depending on what the connected USB-C wire connects to it MAY! be possible to check voltage / current on the wires between the charger and the socket?
OK totally TOTALLY wishful thinking but hell if you don’t ask you don’t get !
I strongly suspect that…
A. The current will be greater than the actual charging current of the battery
B. That measuring microamps is difficult (I remember a system/circuit somewhere on this)
C. That there is circuitry in the way before the wires through the charging lead get to the battery itself
and
The main battery may not be totally disconnected from all this even if fully charged to whatever level is set in the BIOS.
D. Even charging from left or rhs may be different.
Answers on a postcard please, ok maybe not but educated informed info just the same, some speculation accepted.
