Feedback/Regression: Please restore "Custom Charge" thresholds in Dell Optimizer 6.x
I am writing to provide feedback regarding the removal of manual battery charge thresholds in Dell Optimizer 6.1.
On previous versions (and in the old MyDell app), users could easily set a Custom Charge limit (e.g., Start at 50%, Stop at 80%) directly in the UI. The custom settings are essential for users who primarily use their laptops docked or plugged in and want to preserve long-term battery health.
In Dell Optimizer 6.1:
The "Custom" charging profile is missing from the GUI.
Toggling "Dynamic Charge" to OFF does not reveal manual percentage sliders.
"Intelligent Battery Extender" is not a valid replacement as it still frequently charges to 100%.
While I am aware I can force these limits via the BIOS, removing this control from the OS-level software is a significant regression in user experience, as I can no longer quickly change the values if I need a full charge. Please restore the Custom Charging thresholds to the Power menu in the next update.
