Configuring the advbatterychargecfg option

You can configure the advanced battery charging mode using the advbatterychargecfg option from the Power and Performance Management category. Advanced Battery charge mode uses standard charging algorithm and other methods during non-working hours to maximize battery health. During working hours, ExpressCharge is used to charge the batteries faster. You can configure the days and the work period during which the battery has to be charged. To enable advanced battery charging, provide the day, start time, and the duration of charging (optimal usage duration).

  1. Click the required option:
    • Create Multiplatform Package
    • Create Local System Package

    • NOTE: To open a saved package, click Open a Saved Package, browse to the file location, and then click Open.
  2. Click Edit or double-click the option.
  3. In the advbatterychargecfg option row, click View/Change in the Value to set column. The Advanced Battery Settings screen is displayed.
