New Post: Announcing the Lapdock Kit

Thank your for the great explanation about heat transfer and battery charge. =)
At this point, I am thinking about these two topics:

Set battery charge threshold

I was wondering whether it is possible to set a battery charge threshold for the Librem5. Most of the time I am using my Librem5 docked to a USB-C Hub and unfortunately it does not provide enough power to run it without battery, but enough to slowly charge. So to extend battery lifespan, charging could stop when reaching 80% and kick back in when it goes below 30%. With the Librem14 I think this is possible and I have seen in Nicole Faerber’s blog that she did it also with a Pixelbook [1]. She…

How to limit battery charge voltage and current

Like a few other users around here, I’m interested in limiting the maximum charge voltage and current to extend the longevity of the battery, so I dug in and read the datasheets and did some hacking and want to document what I’ve found for others. I have been doing this for several months now and it works well for me. First, important warnings: messing about with the internals like this can be very dangerous if you don’t know exactly what you are doing, and could result in your battery catching…

Do you think it is possible to supply the Librem5 by the lapdock’s battery directly like a docking station or external power supply will do? So the idea is to use the lapdock’s battery only instead of the phone’s battery.
