Hello

How can I get Windows 11 (Home) to protect my battery properly?

i.e. Normally it should only charge to 80% when plugged in, and when it gets below 20% (30%?) give me a warning and then soon after put my latop into sleep mode.
AND allow me to override these settings when I am travelling.

SmartCharging does not appear to be enabled in the Surface App (which seems broadly useless).

e.g. Is the “Battery Limiter” app any good?

Note: I don’t want to pay for this. I want a free or freemium app. I don’t mind adverts.
Fwiw, I do find it utterly ridiculous that I can’t already do this – particularly as there is no easy way to replace the battery in my Microsoft Surface Laptop (v7 – 15in.)

Any thoughts?
