Aral Balkan<p>So I spoke to the StarLabs folks and the 96% max charge is apparently by design to protect the battery.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/StarLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarLabs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/StarLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarLite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mkIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mkIV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>laptop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/tablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tablet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>battery</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>Another observation, having charged it to capacity twice now and let it discharge fully once:</p><p>The battery only charges up to 96% and dies at 2%.</p><p>Not the worst possible thing but I would expect a new device to charge to 100% and die at 1%. The former likely more important than the latter.</p><p>Hope the battery doesn’t have the same journey that the one on my StarLabs Mk IV did – it dies at around 65% or so after two years.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/StarLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarLabs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/StarLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StarLite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mkIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mkIV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>laptop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/tablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tablet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>battery</span></a></p>
