Product: HP Thunderbolt G2 Combi cable
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there,

I'd like to know if it is possible to use the HP Thunderbolt G2 docking station without charging my laptop?

I don't see any sense in permanently keeping my battery at 99% or 100%. 

Or if smart battery management with (optional) setting to only start charging when the battery falls below X% and don't charge beyond X+Y%, is available or can be made available? 

Thx.

That all depends on the laptop BIOS features. My HP Spectre 13t-ap00xxnd ultrabook's BIOS does have that feature.

 

Yours may or may not.
