Product: HP Spectre x360 13t

Hello. A simple feature request. HP OMEN, 2018 HP Spectre x360, and most, if not all, HP Business laptops come with a battery charging limiting feature (stop charging at 80%), to stop excessive charging to 100%, when the laptop is mostly used on AC power. This HP feature is called the "Battery Health Manager" or "Battery Care Function":

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Notebooks/Configuring-battery-charging-limit-to-desired-value-7...

 

The benefits of this are clearly explained here (and that's why HP offers it on many of their laptops): it can greatly extend the longevity of the non-user-replaceable battery  (the battery can always hold a full charge for longer). 

 

The current latest late 2019 HP Spectre x360 13t (w/ 10th-generation Intel Ice Lake processors like the i7-1065G7) does not have this "Battery Health Manager" nor "Battery Care Function" feature. Why was this critical feature omitted and can future BIOS updates please include this feature? It would really round out a very good laptop to make it even better. 

 

You can confirm this feature is missing by using the BIOS simulator for the late 2019 Spectre x360 here.
