I’m running PureOS / PureBoot on a Librem 14 and have updated the system. I’m having weird battery charging issues - the computer shuts off when the battery is at about 60% and is running on battery power. I suspect this may have to do with updating the EC but thought I did that about a year ago or so. I’m not sure how to check if I have the most up to date EC and when I went to the GitHub repository (librem_14 · master · firmware / releases · GitLab) referenced from Librem-EC on Purism Devices – Purism, it says it was last updated 2 years ago, which makes me wonder if this is now being automatically updated when I update the operating system? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. At the moment, I basically can’t use my laptop on battery power.

No, EC firmware is manually updated.

You might try a Live Boot in order to fault isolate the operating system, software and settings.
The EC firmware is different from the boot firmware (in your case PureBoot) as well. So that’s three pieces of software in all that can be independently upgraded.

Thank you. So is the most recent EC update found here? (librem_14 · master · firmware / releases · GitLab )
Is the most recent update from 2 years ago?

Yes, although technically System76 is the upstream maintainer:
