ThinkPad X250 Battery #2 not detected

#1 Post by klesk »

Hello,
on my ThinkPad X250 there is installed debian 10 with kernel Linux 4.19.0-17-amd64 x86_64. The laptop have #2 batteries and the second one doesn't work, not charging but looks detected. Attached result of command "tlp-stat -b"

I look on many forums trying to configure it by tlp application but with no good results, there is any change to get it work properly?

Thanks for your help

Your internal battery is both detected and looks fully charged. You have set a battery charging threshold (in your first post) that keeps your battery from being charged until it drops to 50%. That makes sense if you want your battery to last for a long time.

My T440s also has an internal battery, but I only charge it to full capacity if I need extra power.

Yes it's detected but BAT0 (internal) working good, issue is on BAT1 that it's not charging. I'm sure is a setting of TLP but i really don't know which one. BAT1 is still at 0% but not in charge. :cry:

As far as I can see, your settings look fine.

Try

# tlp fullcharge BAT1
But it might be dead.

Hello,
here result of tlp fullcharge BAT1

Setting temporary charge thresholds for BAT1:
stop = 100
start = 96

and here result of command tlp-stat -b after thresholds settings... nothing changed

Try with a different battery. I think it's dead.
