STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT1 not honored for Slice 19+ on X220 #735

samveen · 2024-03-24T05:23:05Z

[x] I've read and accepted the Bug Reporting Howto
[x] I've provided all required tlp-stat outputs via Gist (see below)

Describe the bug

The STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT1 threshold for BAT1 (Lenovo Slice 19+) are not honored when charging, and the charging continues till 100%

Expected behavior

The STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT1 threshold for BAT1 (Lenovo Slice 19+) should be honored when charging, and the charging should stop at the configured percentage.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior:

Let the battery discharge below the STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT1.
Connect the charger back to the Slice 19+ and start charging.
Let charging complete.

Your output clearly shows that the thresholds are set correctly:

+++ ThinkPad Battery Status: BAT1 (Ultrabay / Slice / Replaceable)
[...]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_start_threshold = 75 [%]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold = 85 [%]

So the behavior is due to your ThinkPad, not TLP. I wouldn't expect everything to still work perfectly on hardware that is about 12 years old.

samveen · 2024-03-24T08:30:01Z

@linrunner Would you be able to point me towards where I might check for the underlying issue?

linrunner · 2024-03-24T17:51:00Z

If I did that for every charge threshold hiccup on ThinkPads, the issue tracker would become a support forum and I wouldn't have time to develop anymore.

Just this much: the standard workaround for older models is to reset the EC - remove all batteries, disconnect the power supply, hold the power button for 30 seconds.

Thank you !!!

And apologies. It's very easy for forget that helpful people are taking time out from their priorities to make life easier for us, and to not take more of their time. Thank you for making my life easier for the last 4 thinkpads I've had 🙇
