TLP service slow to start using systemD #646

[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

I set the stop-charge setting on my battery on my ASUS laptop to 60%, but it keeps on charging past 60% for about 40 seconds until the TLP service is initialized (via systemd) so that my battery is often at 62% or even 65%. I know this is free software but it really makes it feel a bit sloppy/unprofessional. In Windows it also charges for a few seconds until the first moments of the Windows boot process, but it never really affects the battery percentage, since it triggers the ACPI call early in the boot.

Expected behavior

Keep battery at 60% and not charge past 60%, when set at 60%.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior:

1.This is a battery problem.

  1. Set battery to 60%.
  2. Charge to 60%, and then restart a few times, and you will see the battery slowly climb past 60 up to even 65%.
  3. Full output of tlp-stat via https://gist.github.com/ for all matching cases of 1 (not as file attachment, no screenshots)

Additional context

Is there any way to call the ACPI to limit the battery earlier in the boot process, similar to Windows?

Portraying TLP as "sloppy/unprofessional" in this issue is not an objective expression of criticism. This is also an unobjective evaluation of the contributing developers. I recommend you to use another tool.

Ouch! I thought I was providing some helpful feedback.
