About The Project

Tray Demo

Have you ever wanted to limit your laptop battery charger to a certain percentage? Well now you can with this Battery Charge Controller.

Although there seems to be other alternatives such as TLP, this is a way more simpler project to use.

Installation Guide

Clone the project

Clone the project (or download it if you prefer)

This would clone the project in Battery-Controller under the current directory:

git clone https://github.com/i3130002/Battery-Controller.git

Install requirements

Run the following in the cloned directory (You might replace the pip3 with pip if needed)

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Testing

Run the following to see if the application is working properly (On a successful run, you should see the application icon in the tray menu and be able to change the battery maximum charging percentage by providing the sudo password)

python3 desktop.py

Adding the application shortcut

To have a application shortcut in applications menu generate the following file (path: ~/.local/share/applications/battery-controller.desktop)

Make sure to replace the {PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH} with the absolute cloned project directory path

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Battery Charge Controller Version=1.0
Comment=A gui app Battery Controller for linux
Exec=python3 {PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH}/desktop.py
Icon={PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH}/assets/battery_not_charging.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Issues

  • As I am using pkexec to set the charging state, there might be issues if you don't have the right package installed.

About The Project
Tray Demo
Have you ever wanted to limit your laptop battery charger to a certain percentage? Well now you can with this Battery Charge Controller.
Although there seems to be other alternatives such as TLP, this is a way more simpler project to use.
Installation Guide
Clone the project
Clone the project (or download it if you prefer)
This would clone the project in Battery-Controller under the current directory:
git clone https://github.com/i3130002/Battery-Controller.git
Install requirements
Run the following in the cloned directory (You might replace the pip3 with pip if needed)
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Testing
Run the following to see if the application is working properly (On a successful run, you should see the application icon in the tray menu and be able to change the battery maximum charging percentage by providing the sudo password)
python3 desktop.py
Adding the application shortcut
To have a application shortcut in applications menu generate the following file (path: ~/.local/share/applications/battery-controller.desktop)
Make sure to replace the {PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH} with the absolute cloned project directory path
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Battery Charge Controller Version=1.0
Comment=A gui app Battery Controller for linux
Exec=python3 {PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH}/desktop.py
Icon={PROJECT_ABSOLUTE_PATH}/assets/battery_not_charging.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Issues
  • As I am using pkexec to set the charging state, there might be issues if you don't have the right package installed.
Tested On
  • Asus TUF A15
