tpacpi-bat - ThinkPad ACPI Battery Util

Exposes ACPI interface for battery controls.

  • force discharge
  • inhibit charge
  • start charge threshold
  • stop charge threshold

This project is licensed under the GPLv3. See COPYING for details.

Installation

  • install.pl installs acpi_call from git and copies tpacpi-bat to /usr/bin
  • acpi_call is required (https://github.com/teleshoes/acpi_call.git)
  • tpacpi-bat has no other requirements besides perl; put it where you like

Startup systemd service

  • Edit desired thresholds in examples/tpacpi.conf.d
  • Copy examples/tpacpi.service to systemd unit dir (/usr/lib/systemd/system)
  • Copy tpacpi.conf.d to /etc/conf.d/tpacpi

Usage

Usage:
  Show this message:
    tpacpi-bat [-h|--help]

  Get charge thresholds / inhibit charge / force discharge:
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -g ST <bat{1,2}>
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -g SP <bat{1,2}>
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -g IC <bat{1,2,0}>
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -g FD <bat{1,2}>

  Set charge thresholds / inhibit charge / force discharge:
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -s ST <bat{1,2,0}> <percent{0,1-99}>
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -s SP <bat{1,2,0}> <percent{0,1-99}>
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -s IC <bat{1,2,0}> <inhibit{1,0}> [<min{0,1-720,65535}>]
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -s FD <bat{1,2}> <discharge{1,0}> [<acbreak{1,0}>]

  Set peak shift state, which is mysterious and inhibits charge:
    tpacpi-bat [-v] -s PS <inhibit{1,0}> [<min{0,1-1440,65535}>]


  Synonyms:
    ST -> --st|--startThreshold|--start|st|startThreshold|start
    SP -> --sp|--stopThreshold|--stop|sp|stopThreshold|stop
    IC -> --ic|--inhibitCharge|--inhibit|ic|inhibitCharge|inhibit
    FD -> --fd|--forceDischarge|fd|forceDischarge
    PS -> --ps|--peakShiftState|ps|peakShiftState

  Options:
    -v           show ASL call and response
    <bat>        1 for main, 2 for secondary, 0 for either/both
    <min>        number of minutes, or 0 for never, or 65535 for forever
    <percent>    0 for default, 1-99 for percentage
    <inhibit>    1 for inhibit charge, 0 for stop inhibiting charge
    <discharge>  1 for force discharge, 0 for stop forcing discharge
    <acbreak>    1 for stop forcing when AC is detached, 0 for do not
    [] means optional: sets value to 0
