Charge between two values automatically

Open bertramweiss opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello Great tool. I really like it. I would like to use battery to enter two percentage values, e.g. 35% and 75% as lower and upper limits. I have my Mac always connected with an "always-on" charging docking station. The app should then load automatically whenever the value is between the lower and the upper value and stop charging (totally) when at the upper limit until again it reaches then lower limit. When reaching the lower limit, it starts charging again. Currently, the app simply keeps the charging at the value given (e.g. 80%) but to do so it charges all the time a tiny little bit just to keep it at 80%. However, I want it to stop charging at 75% , then stop charging until it falls down to the lower limit , and only then restart charging until it reaches again the upper limit.

Let me know at [email protected] when you have questions or simply to share what your thoughts are. Thx. Best regards Bertram Weiss

Hey @bertramweiss

There's a few issues about this, but this it the main open one, so this can probably be considered a duplicate: https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery/issues/222

I responded to a different one with a script I wrote that has been working well for me since then: https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery/issues/187#issuecomment-1817284238
