Thanks No, you never know. Not the same case, but my Motorola mobile phone (means Lenovo) has developed a new feature after two years of use. Since the beginning it had some "clever" battery management. If left connected to the charger all night, it would charge to 80%, stay there, and go to 100% just in time for the alarm. Now it has changed behaviour: it charges to 80% and stays. Once every few days, it charges to 100% to maintain calibration, it says. Of course, the control hardware was there from the start, but what they did with it changed. And another phone from the same brand, very similar but one year younger charges to 100%. My old and small Lenovo laptop (Yoga 30011IBR) can limit the charge to about 80% with a Windows application from the manufacturer. The tool does many things, and one of them is configure the charge limit. Interestingly, if I boot to Linux the limit holds, till one day randomly it goes to 100%. My newer laptop, Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3, has never booted Windows, but it has a generic daemon that knows how to handle the power limit. There is a generic configuration file, and works perfectly (the limit applies even if the machine is not booted). I actually bought the thing with a larger battery to compensate. I mention this because generic applications to control charge must be possible also in Windows. -- Cheers, Carlos.
