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
