Batteries on newer Lenovo laptops can be configured on a software
available for Windows platforms. It is set to 60% by default, in order
to prolong the battery life. For Thinkpad users on Linux, TLP can change
the battery charge thresholds:

My Lenovo is not a Thinkpad, though, but a Lenovo G40-80 (Lancer 4A1),
so I still haven't figured out how to solve this problem myself! Some
users just reset the CMOS to enable full charges, as in

, but I'd rather keep the health of the battery if possible!
