Summary
Battery Threshold Persistence Issue
Description
My laptop supports setting the maximum charge threshold at which the battery
stops charging. I found this option in System Settings > Power Management >
Advanced Power Settings. It allows users to set a Charge Limit and stop
charging at the specified value (usually 80%). This feature works as intended,
but the setting does not persist after a reboot; it resets to 100%.
As a workaround, I created a script as follows:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo 80 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold >
/dev/null
```
I added this script to `~/.bash-profile` and configured it to execute without
sudo by editing the sudoers file with `visudo`. However, I expected this
setting to persist across boots out of the box.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Go to System Settings > Power Management > Advanced Power Settings.
2. Set the Charge Limit to 80%.
3. Reboot the laptop.
4. Check the charge limit again; it should reset to 100%.
Expected Result
The charge limit should persist across reboots.
Actual Result
The charge limit resets to 100% after rebooting.
