Dedoimedo: Laptop and battery pending charge issue
Quoting: Laptop and battery pending charge issue —
If you have a Linux machine and you experience intermittent charging not-charging "issue" in normal everyday situations, i.e., not when your machine has 95% battery or capacity or such, but the midrange,20-80%, then I would suggest you examine the temperatures, first and foremost. It is possible your battery is simply too hot, and to protect it, the system is gating the charge. Furthermore, if the battery drains normally, you don't experience weird stutters, and it charges normally when the machine is cold and idle, then you're most likely fine. As always, with any powered device, you need to be careful and vigilant, but the pending charge issue doesn't sound so sinister right now. In all likelihood, it's perfectly fine. Thus, our problem is more the question of how you make sure your work temperatures are always nice and cozy. Here you may discover various limitations in your device design, including case size, passive and active cooling, and such. Take care.
