How to limit charging percentage on my Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition to 80%?

Hi

I wanna prolong it’s battery life, for example if it always plugged to AC, not to make battery always stay at 100%

Is it possible? Maybe TLP can do a trick? Can anyone help?

Anything is possible with Linux- Yeah, try tlp package
$ sudo apt install tlp

Edit config /etc/tlp.conf with something like:

START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=75
STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=80

Then start it with:

sudo tlp start

The config already has the above lines. Just uncomment.

I know . That’s why I am here!

How to get to know which is mine battery? BAT0 or BAT1?

Also does it work with Asus?

Simply run something like:

$ sudo tlp-stat | grep -i Battery

You can use the same command to get more info about your hardware:

$ sudo tlp-stat

I do not see a reason why it should not run on ASUS too…
