## Charging levels
## Charge thresholds

Dasharo firmware implements various battery charging level limits, which can
vastly extend the lifespan of the battery:
Dasharo firmware implements battery charge thresholds, which aim to extend the
lifespan of the battery:

- plugging in the charger when the battery level sits below 95%, will result in
charging the battery until 98% of capacity is reached. The battery status
will then change to `not charging`
- charging will only start when the battery level is below 95%

- plugging in the charger when the battery level sits between 95% and 98%, will
result in not activating the battery charging mechanism util the battery
level below 95% is reached.
- charging will stop once the battery level reaches 98%

Custom charge thresholds can be configured using the Dasharo setup menu or using
third-party software like [tlp](https://linrunner.de/tlp/faq/battery.html).
