I have a HP ProBook 635 G8 laptop with the latest BIOS (T83 01.11.00)
I had installed the HP Power Manager to limit the maximum battery charged.
That worked fine and it limited the charging level to around 80%.
Occasionally, I need to travel with my laptop, so I need the charge my battery to 100%.
How can I do that?
I uninstalled Power Manager and rebooted.
Then I went into the BIOS and ensured that the power control option is NOT selected.
According to this:
https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/ish_5180936-5180983-16
"If you uninstall HP Power Manager, the current settings are preserved and controlled by the BIOS."
Unfortunately, the laptop is now stuck at 60% charge (even though Windows reports 100%).
In the BIOS, I can only see two settings:
(1) Maximize My Battery Health
(2) Let HP Manage My Battery Charging
According to this:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_5084029-5084079-16
There should be an option called "Maximize My Battery Duration", but that does not appear on my laptop.
I'm now stuck with a battery that will not charge beyond 60% which means I cannot use it for any extended periods away from my desk.
Can someone help?
Thanks
