Surface UEFI Enable Battery Limit = ON

Have looked in Power and Battery. Able to set Battery Saver. But nothing mentioning
"Battery Charge Threshold."

Am thinking only resort is to reinstall Win 11.

Thank you.

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

The 'Battery Limit' and 'Battery Smart Charging' are apparently two quite separate things. The limit you have turned on in UEFI is set at 50%. The Smart Charging limit of 80% is always active with nothing for you to see or set. It kicks in when you use your Surface while plugged in for prolonged periods.

Microsoft said:
  • Battery Smart Charging – Battery Smart Charging is a feature that helps protect your battery from the effects of charging patterns and high temperatures that may accelerate battery aging or lead to expansion. Battery Smart Charging is always active and turns on automatically to limit battery charging to 80% when it detects your device is plugged in for prolonged periods and/or used at elevated temperatures. The 80% charging limit automatically turns off when the battery has been discharged below 20%. ....
  • Battery Limit Mode - Battery Limit Mode is a feature available for users who need to keep devices plugged in for extended periods of time. Plugging in the device for extended periods of time can cause batteries to prematurely age. When enabled this feature limits battery charging capacity to 50%, which slows the aging process and prolongs battery longevity.

Thanks glasskuter and Bree. After several days of jerking around trying to keep this thing charging below 80%, Bree, your info was not published anywhere but here. Hence, my looking, trying posted literature that occasionally was correct. The last time I charged the Pro 9 it charged to 99%. Am plugging it in now to fully charge and to see what happens. Will also go into uefi and reset that switch back to off.

Leave it plugged in. MS say that the Smart Charging 80% limit will turn on after being 'plugged in for prolonged periods' - but they don't say how long 'prolonged' means. Obviously last time you charged it wasn't long enough. I guess that with more use it should eventually settle to 80% charged.

It's nicely charged over night to 100%.
I'll plug it back in so as you say, it may eventually stop charging at 80%.
