Improve Battery Health Button on X31?

[Aristotle11]

I want to set the charge thresholds on my X31, but the Improve Battery Health Button that was present on my T42 is not there (under battery health). Is this normal for an X31? Is there anything i can do about it?

Thanks!

That's odd - I've seen it on my wife's x40, but I can't find it on my x31 either.

I found that the Linux install allows for setting the charge thresholds for the X31, so I assume it can also be done in Windows XP. Any ideas?

I`d like to have that on my x31 aswell

This is probably because both the T42 and the X40 have different power manager interfaces and options as opposed to the X31. A similar situation exists for the T43 vs. the T42, T41, and T40.

I suppose you could try obtaining the latest power manager and see if that would work, as it would have the "Improve Battery Health" button, but it is not certain that it would work; it might need a driver or some information that the current power management drivers can't obtain via a HAL to the battery microcontroller on the X31.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

I think its a function of chipset. The X32 uses an older chipset, with 333Mhz memory speed and the like, while the T42 and X40 use a new chipset with 400MHz memory speed. My X32 didn't have the option either, while my X41 does.
