MSI laptops users in windows can easily set a limit for battery charging in DragonCenter:

enter image description here

So it allows users to improve battery lifetime. But whats about Linux and ubuntu?

Thinkpad users also can use this solution: How can I limit battery charging to 80% capacity?

HP users can modify this value from BIOS: Configuring battery charging limit to desired value (70-80%) on HP laptop

But what about MSI laptops (which windows users can modify this value from DragonCenter app)?

  • I'm looking for a solution for this as well, I don't have an answer so I'm writing a comment instead. You might find some luck checking out these sources: TLP support based on a Linux Kernel 4.17 change - https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/321 also this project might be helpful however I haven't checked the code or tested if it works yet: https://github.com/YoyPa/isw – Alpha Mineron Oct 16 '20 at 20:39
  • isw does include battery limiting, and considering it's meant as a drop-in replacement to Dragon Center, it should work. Can't verify that though, because my battery is horrible and the OS cannot measure the charge correctly, but should still work on a battery that's less garbage. I'm not sure if it takes percentages relative to the max capacity or the current capacity, though. I'd assume current, but I keep hopping >90% even though it's limited. Again, might just be down to the charge being hard to measure with my old and heavily (ab)used battery, but /shrug – Zoe Nov 22 '21 at 13:58
