Your machine is NOT a business class machine therefore no such option in BIOS. Please use
Please use the following guides to keep battery healthy

Hello,
Answering that this machine is not business class is really interesting. Although as a consultant i have been using Spectre series since 2018. now all of a sudden it is not a business class machine. my earlier PC -Spectre 14"- had this option in BIOS. was that a business class machine while the new Spectre 16" is not??!!
if a PC costing close to 2000 US$ is not a business class machine, what would be??!!
All your guidelines and recommendations to save battery life is manually operated which is inconvenient and un-practical. I even bought a third party app -smart battery- to cap the battery recharge but it does not cap it.
Since this is not personal, please escalate this issue as i am certain all your users of this series would appreciate to conserve the battery life.
Thank you,
Regards
