[Solved] Thinkpad yoga 14, battery not charging.
I wanted to configure power management, on my thinkpad yoga 14, I just installed TLP, followed the wiki, installed acpi_call nothing big, the battery stats are showing some weird output.
On AC:
sudo tlp-stat -b
[sudo] password for marouane:

tpacpi-bat.BAT0.forceDischarge = 0The battery is not charging, as you see status shows Unknown, I am not sure what's the problem.
EDIT1:
acpid is not installed could that be a problem ? I will install it and see, meanwhile here is what's happening during boot, the 4 last lines don't look good.

Re: [Solved] Thinkpad yoga 14, battery not charging.
Kind of odd:
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full_design = 56020 [mWh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full = 58800 [mWh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now = 57390 [mWh]The last full and present state both report greater energy than the battery was designed for.
If you allow it to discharge for a while, does energy_now reported decrease? If it does, I would not expect it to try to charge until it gets to 57.39Wh * 96% (the start threshold) after which it might start to take a charge. It might declare the state as "Unknown" as it does not know how to interpret the reported values -- it does not make sense that the reported current state represents more energy than the battery is designed to hold.

Re: [Solved] Thinkpad yoga 14, battery not charging.
Thanks for this reply, I guess you are right for the state "Unknown", I let the battery discharge for a bit, bellow 96% and plugged the laptop, the state changed to Charging, until energy_now reached energy_full.

Re: [Solved] Thinkpad yoga 14, battery not charging.
Did you notice the hint after "unknown"?
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status = Unknown (threshold effective)
