TLP has supported charge control thresholds for ThinkPads since the beginning. With release 1.4, support will be extended to laptops from selected other vendors for which a corresponding driver already exists in the Linux kernel.
Since I don't own any of the newly supported laptops, I'm reaching out to the community of TLP users with a request to test the new functionality on their hardware.
-
Check if vendor and charge control features(s) are detected correctly (it can be assumed that not all models of a vendor will support them)
-
Check if TLP can set and read the charge control feature(s) correctly
-
Verify if the settings start/stop the charging process at the set value
Because of the different hardware implementations, there are separate test cases for each vendor:
- ASUS laptops - proceed here
- Huawei MateBooks - proceed here
- LG Gram laptops - proceed here
- Lenovo laptops (non-ThinkPad series) - proceed here
- Samsung laptops - proceed here
Important: please post results and questions only in the respective test threads.
Disclaimer: Hardware not listed above is not supported nor should it be included in this test. Please refrain from asking questions about this here or in the test threads.

I will gladly be the tester :D. Let me open the issue first, actually, one issue was opened but later closed. I am reopening it.
Edit: I can not repoen the issue as you have closed it.
