Please use my configured hardware battery percentage or system battery percentage for the charging limit percentage. #1140

Describe the bug When the current hardware battery level is above 80%, charging is restricted to 80%, and the hardware battery percentage option is enabled. Discharge is displayed continuously until it drops below 80%. After continuous discharge, disable the hardware battery option, and the displayed battery percentage remains at 80%.

Hi @jerrysearch,

I am not sure what exactly your issue is. Could you explain it in more detail?

Hi @MatthiasKerbl,

I have enabled 'Hardware Battery Percentage' in the settings and set the charging limit to 80%. The observed behavior is that the laptop continues to use battery power until the battery level displayed is approximately 74% (software battery percentage is 80%). Only then does it switch to using external power. It seems that the charging limit is based on the software battery percentage rather than the hardware battery percentage.

Any insights or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @jerrysearch,

looking at your debug file, everything seems fine. Could you test again, if AlDente does not use the Hardware Battery Percentage during normal use? Also, please keep in mind that during the Calibration Mode, AlDente uses the macOS battery percentage due to the limitations of some devices.
