"How to Ensure Proper Battery Protection on Surface Laptop v7 Running Windows 11"

Hey there!

 

I'm looking for ways to optimize battery health on my Windows 11 (Home) system. Ideally, I want to restrict charging to 80% when plugged in and receive a warning when battery levels drop below 20% (maybe 30%) before automatic sleep mode kicks in. It would be great if I could adjust these settings when I'm on the go.

 

I've noticed that SmartCharging isn't available in the Surface App, which is not very helpful. Has anyone tried using the "Battery Limiter" app for this purpose?

 

I'm hoping to find a free or freemium app for this task as I'm not looking to make a purchase. I don't mind seeing ads. It's frustrating that these features aren't readily available, especially since replacing the battery in my Microsoft Surface Laptop (v7 - 15in.) isn't straightforward.

 

Any suggestions or insights on how to achieve this?
