In reply to ceaualbi. @Ceaualbi, Thank you for your feedback! To edit the configuration file for TLP, you'll need to open the /etc/tlp.conf file and make this changes in the file, and don't forget to restart TLP to apply the new settings.

sudo systemctl restart tlp

+++ Battery Status
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/manufacturer = PAC
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/model_name = CP700280-01
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/cycle_count = 61
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full_design = 4500 [mAh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full = 4333 [mAh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now = 2024 [mAh]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now = 0 [mA]
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status = Charging

Charge = 46.7 [%]
Capacity = 96.3 [%]

The battery is not charging, and the laptop turns off when the charger is disconnected. Tried removing, putting it back, etc. What can be the reason? “current now” here shows “0”.

In reply to Anirudh. @Anirudh, No need to reboot, just start the tlp service using the following command.

$ sudo systemctl status tlp
