It does the following:. Quite low I think Is there an external battery charger that I can use to do the same thing, for the T23 and T42 batteries? If it's bad, it's probably just a coincidence. My experience is that when I set the thresholds in Windows and reboot into Linux without powering off with AC unplugged - that resets things , then both thresholds are respected.

About forgetting the threshold, one of the recent Battery Maximizer updates contained a fix for forgetting or rather, not re-setting the threshold on resume from hibernate. Newer thinkpads have a feature letting you control charging behavior. Retrieved from " https: It's the original 5.
If the EC doesn't implement it, there is no way to control it. I hope not, because this happened at 7: The SMBus isn't accessed either i. Can I reset this cycle count, and start anew?

Some forum posts suggested it's done by software monitoring, but I checked and it does work under Thjnkpad after rebooting from Windows. I don't know why those programs would've crashed your drive.
Goodbye Lorita, wherever you've gone I can't figure this one out. Originally posted by hotkidd Hi, just got my T40 too My best guess is that you can tell the embedded controller the start charging threshold for each battery, and you can also command it to stop charging a battery and to switch to another battery. Could this have something to do with the Battery MaxiMiser and Power Management program or did my hard drive just quit on me?
It might just be a W98 instal failure - this is not unknown Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information.
And I don't see anything obviously corresponding to the "stop charging" threshold. How did you find maxumiser "start charging" offset? There is this strange Are there any programs that enable you to set up charging thresholds on Thinkpad X31? This page was last modified on 5 Julyat As a soon-to-be Thinkpad owner thinkad came here to get good advice, I found the following highlighted conflicting information confusing.
Li-Ion batteries wear our quicker when at high charge, so a stop-charge threshold is very useful for increased battery life as long as it doesn't make you discharge the battery too deply later.

The following narrows things down. Maybe it would be best if at least the Windows admin password recovery stuff was moved to its own page not to be confused with the BIOS admin password recovery stuff?
At least on the T43, the effect of internal system temperature on the laptop is very small: Are you sure these commands even go through the EC rather than some other autonomous circuitry?
This would mean that I'm charging the battery every 1. If that doesn't fix it, there isn't much you can do. Originally posted by grandfatherboard try liao no boot from USB option are u using a thumbdrive? The only thing that resumes charging other than changing the setting under Windows is disconnection of the AC power while the laptop is turned off.
So far, no booms.
