Chargie - smart charging limiter and scheduler for phones and laptops
chargie.org
Chargie is a smart charging limiter and scheduler for phones, laptops, and any device that uses lithium ion batteries.

You may have noticed that the latest CalyxOS - 6.6.23 - doesn’t support charge control anymore. See here for details.

This is mighty annoying, but I understand it will come back. In the meantime, if you want to limit the charge of your battery, you can use one of these little doodads.

They’re not ideal because they require Bluetooth, the charge constantly flucturates some percentage points around the target charge level, and they disconnect the data link each time they cut off. But it’s better than nothing until proper charge limiting is reintroduced in CalyxOS.

    Didn’t realize charge control was available in CalyxOS before… I’ve used AccuBattery and it works quite nicely. It can also monitor battery health, which is quite nice :)

    Nice! Release notes on the last update said they only removed it temporarily and the issue you linked makes it sound like they want to work on it as well, so I hope it’ll be back some point. Have been using LOS for ages and installed Calyx on a whim and I love it!
