Ah:
+++--------------- Do charge thresholds work even when Linux/TLP is not running?
Yes. The charging process is not controlled by software, but by hardware. TLP just writes the thresholds to the hardware registers (via tp-smapi or tpacpi-bat). Once stored in the hardware the charge thresholds stay effective permanently. See below for removal. ---------------++-
In that case, as a workaround boot to Windows anytime you need to set it to full charge or back to 60%.
Not the best solution, but not too bad.
I removed the original hard disk, a 500GB rust unit, and replaced with a 250GB SSD with only Linux installed.
I bought an external empty USB3 in which to place the original disk; I hope Windows can boot from it.
Well, battery limits change do not work on Linux: Legolas:~ # tlp chargeonce Error: ThinkPad battery features not available. Legolas:~ # I tried to boot Windows from the external USB disk; I saw the waiting circle that windows displays when loading, then it went black and Linux started booting instead. I'll try another day when Linux is not hibernated. I also have to add an entry to grub2. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
