Asus® Battery Health Switcher

Asus® Battery Health Switcher

KDE Plasma widget to configure the Battery Health Charging feature in compatible Asus® laptops.
For more information see ASUS Battery Health Charging

Keep in mind that according to some reports of users on the Internet this mode is automatically disabled after rebooting. To make it permanent you can do it for example with a cronjob or with Systemd (with either of these two ways you would not need this widget). See Battery Charging limiter Linux (ASUS Laptops) or Enable Asus Battery Health Charging (Charging Threshold) in Linux.

• One of the following tools is required for notifications to work. Note that in many distros at least one of the two is installed by default, check it out.

You can find it in your software center, in the subcategories Plasma Addons > Plasma Widgets.
Or you can download or install it directly from the KDE Store website.

• Version 0.0.1 only gives two possible modes, on (60%) or off (100%).
• The other version gives three possible modes, maximum (60%), balanced (80%) and full (100%).

Disclaimer

I'm not a widget or KDE developer, I did this by looking at other widgets, using AI chatbots, consulting documentation, etc. So use it at your own risk. Any recommendations and contributions are welcome.
