HP laptops, including the HP Pavilion series, typically do not have a built-in feature to set a charging threshold or limit the maximum charge to a specific percentage. Unlike some other laptop brands, HP laptops generally do not provide native tools or options within the BIOS/UEFI or operating system settings to manually set a charging threshold.

However, it's important to note that manufacturers may release updates or new models with additional features, so it's advisable to check the latest user manual or support documentation specific to your laptop model on the official HP website or contact HP support directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

If your laptop does not have a built-in charging threshold feature, and you want to avoid overcharging to extend battery lifespan, you can follow these general tips:

1. Unplug the Laptop: Once the battery is charged to your desired level (e.g., 70% or 80%), unplug the charger from the laptop.

2. Manually Monitor Charging: Keep an eye on your battery level and manually manage charging by plugging in the charger when the battery level drops to a certain point and unplugging it once it reaches your desired level.

Remember that lithium-ion batteries used in laptops are designed to handle a certain number of charge cycles, and modern laptops are equipped with technologies to protect the battery from overcharging. If you have concerns about battery health, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's guidelines and best practices.

Here are some laptop brands that have been known to offer charging threshold settings in some of their models:

1. Lenovo ThinkPad Series: Some Lenovo ThinkPad laptops come with a feature called "Battery Charge Threshold" in the Lenovo Vantage software. This allows users to set the maximum battery charge to a specific percentage.

2. Dell XPS Series: Certain Dell XPS laptops may have a feature called "Dell Power Manager," which includes a charging threshold option. Users can set the maximum charge level to extend battery lifespan.

3. ASUS ROG Series: Some ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) gaming laptops provide a charging limit feature in the ASUS Armoury Crate software. This allows users to set a maximum battery charge percentage.

4. Microsoft Surface Devices: Some Microsoft Surface devices offer a feature called "Surface Battery Limit" that can be set through the UEFI firmware. This feature limits the maximum battery charge to around 50% for long-term storage or usage on AC power.
