Just wanted to let everyone know that I found out by accident how to set the battery thresholds with ectool, and have it work correct. In the past I would set a threshold, and my computer would power down when it got to around 30% battery.
set battery thresholds x230
Start charging at 76%
ectool -w 0xb0 -z 0x4c
sleep 2
Stop charging at 80%
ectool -w 0xb1 -z 0x50
After 5 days of doing great my battery shut down at 50% and said zero battery left. I had to reset everything back to 100%
ectool -w 0xb1 -z 0x64
ectool -w 0xb0 -z 0x64
Then turn off laptop unplug battery plug power cord back in and do a battery re-calibrate
ectool -w 0xb4 -z 0x06
that fixed it but I guess I cant set the battery thresholds on x230 with coreboot. So I am closing this.
