Battery manager to handle system performance modes and charge modes through acpi_calls (for Ideapad Gaming 3 15ACH6).
On Windows native software to support battery and performance operations exist, on GNU/Linux, it's possible to handle system performance modes and battery charge modes making acpi_calls manually. This script makes it easy to manage such operations.
In order to use ig3mngr the acpi-call module needs to be installed.
To install ig3mngr you only need to download the script, put it in a directory of your choice and then add it to your PATH.
Usage: ig3mngr [OPTION] MODE
Options:
-h, --help usage help
-s, --set set battery mode
-sc, --set-charge set charge mode
Battery modes:
0 Intelligent Cooling
1 Extreme Performance
2 Battery Saving
Charge modes:
r1 Rapid Charge On
r0 Rapid Charge Off
b1 Battery Conservation On
b0 Battery Conservation Off
Examples:
ig3mngr -s 1
ig3mngr -sc b1
ig3mngr -s 0 -sc r0
Since this requires sudo: You will be asked for a password when runnng this script that should elevate your privillges on the terminal until the timeout.
ig3mngr seem to be working fine on the supported device, but only because ACPI calls values are publicly known.
If you know any way of discovering ACPI calls values for specific laptop models, please open an issue detailing your process. This could help supporting many more potentially compatible laptops.
Note: turning Rapid Charge will disable Battery Conservation and vice-versa.
Issuing the command ig3mngr -sc r1 will turn on Rapid Charge mode but disable Battery Conservation mode.
