# TLP
|
|
|
|
[TLP](https://linrunner.de/tlp) is a linux command line utility for
|
|
[saving laptop battery power](/wiki/linux/battery_saving.md) aswell as optimizing battery life.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
TLP can be installed on most distributions by installing the `tlp` package.
|
|
Afterwards the TLP
|
|
[service](/wiki/linux/systemd.md#startstopenabledisable-a-service) needs to be
|
|
started and enabled.
|
|
In contrast to other
|
|
[SystemD services](/wiki/linux/systemd.md#startstopenabledisable-a-service) this
|
|
can be done by running `sudo tlp start` and running `systemctl enable tlp.service`.
|
|
|
|
## Configure Battery Charge Thresholds
|
|
|
|
There are two battery charge thresholds.
|
|
The first is `START_CHARGE_THRESH` this threshold contains the battery charge
|
|
level below which charging will begin.
|
|
`STOP_CHARGE_TRESH` is the second threshold.
|
|
It describes up to which level the battery will be charged.
|
|
Battery charge thresholds are used to limit the charging of the battery to
|
|
extend the battery life.
|
|
|
|
Thresholds can be set in the file `/etc/tlp.conf`.
|
|
Search and edit the following lines according to your needs.
|
|
|
|
```txt
|
|
START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=75
|
|
STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=80
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can also be achieved by using [tp-battery-mode](/wiki/linux/battery_saving.md#programs)
