Hi guys, I’m a newcomer around. I don’t know whether it is a problem. When the battery is fulled, system doesn’t switch to ac/dc. On windows it can be possible and it gives more performance. Opensuse 42.2 KDE is my system and I wonder whether there is a solution for this? System still uses the battery when the battery is fulled &100.
AFAIU, it is your hardware that manages the charging etc, but maybe the true state is not reported accurately.
When fully charged, what is reported by the following for example?
upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
Hi and welcome to the forum
On my DELL there are three different power options in the BIOS for charging and using AC/DC suggest you look there as well.
native-path: BAT0
vendor: PEGA
model: G71C000FM110
power supply: yes

has history: yes
has statistics: yes
battery
present: yes
rechargeable: yes
state: discharging
warning-level: none
energy: 29,428 Wh
energy-empty: 0 Wh
energy-full: 29,428 Wh
energy-full-design: 45,08 Wh
energy-rate: 1,316 W
voltage: 16,341 V
time to empty: 22,4 hours

capacity: 65,2795%
technology: lithium-ion
icon-name: 'battery-full-symbolic'
It says so.
My computer is Toshiba Satellite P50-B-117. There is no option for battery in BIOS.
This is odd…
energy-empty: 0 Wh
energy-full: 29,428 Wh
energy-full-design: 45,08 Wh
energy-rate: 1,316 W
voltage: 16,341 V
time to empty: 22,4 hours
percentage: 100%
capacity: 65,2795%
I assume the bug is to do with your BIOS.
For reference, I have
power -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
native-path: BAT0
vendor: innotek
model: 1
serial: 0
power supply: yes

This might be worth a shot…

Oh, Then there is a wrong thing… But how can I fix it? There is no option in BIOS. How can I calibrate the battery?

\What hardware supplier, on HP’s you can press the F2 button and select
battery check and then it should allow you to calibrate.

Hi
Any tools on the Toshiba support site? I would let it discharge on the
battery (turn off any power management, screen savers etc). then
recharge and see if that helps.
