TLP 1.8.0                                          2025-02-04                                             tlp(8)

start  Start tlp and apply power saving profile for the actual power source.  Also use to apply a changed
              configuration or to leave manual mode.

       bat    Apply  battery  profile and enter manual mode.  Manual mode means that changes to the power source
              will be ignored until the next reboot or tlpstart is issued to resume automatic mode.

       true   Alias for bat.

       ac     Apply AC profile and enter manual mode.  Manual mode means that changes to the power  source  will
              be ignored until the next reboot or tlpstart is issued to resume automatic mode.

       false  Alias for ac.

       usb    Enable autosuspend for all USB devices except those excluded by default or via configuration.

       bayoff Turn  off  optical  drive  in UltraBay/MediaBay.  The drive may be re-enabled by pulling the eject
              lever or pushing the media eject button on newer models.

       setcharge [start_thresholdstop_threshold] [battery]
              Change battery charge thresholds temporarily.  If your hardware supports only  a  stop  threshold,
              set  the  start  value to 0.  Configured charge thresholds will be restored at the next boot or by
              using tlpsetcharge again but without the threshold arguments.

       fullcharge [battery]
              Charge battery to full capacity.  This is done by applying vendor presets to the charge thresholds
              temporarily.  Configured charge thresholds will be restored at the  next  boot  or  by  using  tlpsetcharge without the threshold arguments.

       chargeonce [battery]
              Charge  battery  to the stop charge threshold once.  This is done by temporarily lifting the start
              charge threshold.  The configured start charge threshold will be restored at the next boot  or  by
              using tlpsetcharge without the threshold arguments.

       discharge [battery] [target_charge_level]
              Force a complete or partial discharge of the battery while on AC power.

       recalibrate [battery]
              Perform  a  battery recalibration while on AC power: completely discharge the battery and recharge
              to 100%. The latter is done by temporarily applying vendor presets to the  thresholds.  Configured
              thresholds will be restored at the next boot or by using tlpsetcharge.

       diskid Print disk ids for configured drives.

       --version
              Print TLP version.

       --CONFIG_PARAM=value ...
              Append  configuration parameters to a command. These temporarily override the system configuration
              during execution of that command only and are  not  kept  afterwards.   Disclaimer:  this  feature
              exists  for the sole purpose of test automation during TLP's development. It is provided as is and
              there is no support whatsoever.

tlp applies power saving settings manually and controls battery care features.

       Change thresholds of the main battery to 70 / 90% temporarily:

              tlp setcharge 70 90

       Charge the secondary battery to full capacity:

              tlp fullcharge BAT1

       Recalibrate the main battery:

              tlp recalibrate

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.

/etc/tlp.conf
              System-wide user configuration file, uncomment parameters here to override  default  settings  and
              customization files below.

       /etc/tlp.d/*.conf
              System-wide drop-in customization files, overriding defaults below.

       /usr/share/tlp/defaults.conf
              Intrinsic default settings. DO NOT EDIT this file, instead use one of the above alternatives.

       /run/tlp/run.conf
              Effective settings consolidated from all above files. DO NOT CHANGE this file, it is for reference
              only and regenerated on every invocation of TLP.

       /etc/default/tlp
              Obsolete  system-wide  configuration  file.  DO  NOT  USE  this  file,  it  is evaluated only when
              /etc/tlp.conf is non-existent.

       Availability of the above batterycare commands and the possible charge threshold values always depend on
       laptop vendor or brand, Linux kernel version and TLP version. Check for  actual  availability,  threshold
       ranges and battery names with tlp-stat-b. Follow the link in the SEEALSO section for details.

       For  laptops  with two batteries, the secondary battery must be specified as a command parameter in order
       to select it. In many cases the main battery will be BAT0, the secondary battery BAT1. When in doubt, the
       output of tlp-stat-b, which lists all batteries, can help.

tlp-stat(8), bluetooth(1), nfc(1), wifi(1), wwan(1).
