Mode not optimized on AC adapter #496

Component: tlp.noarch 1.3.1-1.fc32 @fedora

OSses Windows and Linux Fedora are instaled into an ASUS-branded laptop. Use-case is keeping my AC adapter connected while using my laptop.

On windows' side ASUS Battery Health Charging software is installed, active and operating as intended. Option applied, Maximum Lifespan Mode here illustrated, acts as follows: Stops charging when power is above 60 % and resumes charging when power is below 58 %, thus optimized.

On Linux's side TLP is installed and active. The battery is often in a state of high-power, 98.4375–100 % for extended length of time which causes a reduction in battery life, thus mode applied by default expected to be optimized as stated in TLP documentation, is not.

The statement in the documentation is about battery life in the sense of maximizing battery runtime, not about minimizing battery wear.

Ricky-Tigg commented 4 years ago

Documentation may partially be subject to interpretation. Your interpretation must to be correct, mine wrong then. Are those sentences incorrect interpretations as well of your previous comment; maximizing battery runtime does apply to Lenovo-Thinkpad models as well as others laptop models, while,minimizing battery wear does apply only to Lenovo-Thinkpad models, thus not to others laptop models,

The term on the frontpage is about optimizing runtime only, not about minimizing wear (not even for a specific brand).

It is never easy when someone ends here for the wrong reason, to forgot what mothers said to their t school-aged children in your country or the one you moved to. If you keep not knowing your language you will end as a developer. Is that what you want?

That man page, is that your writing too?

setcharge [START_CHARGE STOP_CHARGE] [BAT0|BAT1] (ThinkPads only)
Set charge thresholds of main (BAT0) or auxiliary (BAT1) battery temporarily.

You refered in your own English as "wear" what is there as "setcharge", meant then as temporal wear. You attempted to deny it. That's indeed beyond my understanding.

Your criticism lacks any constructive element and you obviously lack technical background which would be a prerequisite for understanding the documentation. Your provocative tone of asking is just as unhelpful. I'm out of here.
