ASUS Linux
Advanced power management (Laptop Power Profile selection, battery charge limit and Panel Overdrive) and many other functions from recent laptops need the ASUS Linux stack installed and running.
Battery charge threshold
Kernel 5.4 brought the ability to set the battery charge threshold for some Asus laptops, by modifying the charge_control_end_threshold
variable exposed under /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/
[1][2].
By default this value is set to 100
and reset on every power cycle[3].
The effect of its change can be demonstrated as follows:
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Charging $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity 74 # echo 60 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Not charging
?
), e.g. BAT?
.Include required module in initramfs
To work around cases of configuration failing to apply at boot because the required asus_wmi
kernel module has not yet been loaded[5], configure early module loading for it.
TLP
TLP gained with version 1.4 the ability to set battery charge thresholds for laptops other than Thinkpads: see upstream documentation and example Gist.
bat
Another (more simple) way to force the charging threshold is by using bat-asus-battery-binAUR, which provides a bat-boot.service
systemd service and an intuitive terminal interface to change the threshold by typing bat-asus-battery threshold value
.
GNOME extension
gnome-shell-extension-battery-health-charging-gitAUR is a GNOME extension that "provides a graphical user interface for setting a laptop’s charging limit (charging threshold) within a Gnome environment". It supports ASUS laptops and many other brands. See its official website for details and screenshots.
systemd service
In order to automatically change the value at boot, create the following systemd service:
/etc/systemd/system/battery-charge-threshold.service
[Unit] Description=Set the battery charge threshold After=multi-user.target StartLimitBurst=0 [Service] Type=oneshot Restart=on-failure ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'echo value > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold' [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
and then enable it.
Restart=on-failure
and StartLimitBurst=0
are used to work around the service failing with a /bin/bash: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold: Permission denied
error.
This error is due to the service being started before asus-wmi could be loaded by the kernel (noted as kernel: battery: new extension: ASUS Battery Extension
in the journal), making it impossible to write there.
The combination of those two options allows unlimited restart of the service for DefaultStartLimitIntervalSec
(set to 10 seconds by default in /etc/systemd/system.conf
), leaving enough time for the sysfs path to become available and writable and thus ensuring the fastest execution of the service.
udev rule
The battery's charge_control_end_threshold
power supply class attribute does not initially exist. It is added to the sysfs(5) directory by the asus-nb-wmi
kernel module. Create a udev rule for asus-nb-wmi
to set the battery's charge threshold:
/etc/udev/rules.d/asus-battery-charge-threshold.rules
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="asus-nb-wmi", RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'echo value > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT?/charge_control_end_threshold'"
Persist after hibernation
While this setting will persist after suspending to RAM, it will be reset when resuming from hibernation. In order to re-execute the service after hibernation, use one of the methods described in Power management/Suspend and hibernate#Sleep hooks.
If creating a script as described in Power management/Suspend and hibernate#Hooks in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep, use something similar to:
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/battery-threshold.sh
#!/bin/sh case $1/$2 in pre/*) echo "Going to $2..." ;; post/*) echo "Waking up from $2..." echo 60 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold ;; esac
Do not forget to make the script executable.
