I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing as an enthusiastic user of the GPD WIN Max 2 to request your support with an important hardware preservation feature. I currently use Ubuntu as the primary operating system on my GPD WIN Max 2 device, and I’ve noticed the inability to control battery charge limits – a feature that is available in Windows through the GPD Assistant software.
The Specific Issue:
There is no access to standard charge control files (charge_control_end_threshold) in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/, which prevents setting charge thresholds to protect battery health long-term.
My Request:
Would it be possible for you to release: The necessary drivers for charge control in Linux, or The Embedded Controller specifications related to battery management, or A documented method to access these functions?
This would enable the Linux community to develop solutions for preserving battery lifespan, which is especially important for users who keep the device connected for extended periods.
Positive Impact:
Would significantly improve the Linux user experience. Would extend the lifespan of the hardware we value. Would strengthen the ecosystem around your products
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. I look forward to any guidance you can provide.

Sincerely,
Thank you for your comment. You/We would need to speak to GPD directly about this as we do not have the drivers to do it.
