Allow for different charge limits based on port used for charging #48

Hi! This is a QoL suggestion rather than an issue, so I've opted to not use the standard bug-report format.

To be clear, intent with this suggestion is to provide a quick, easy way to control when to charge the battery to full, without rebooting back to the BIOS configuration.

I realize this is technically doable now, thanks to the Battery Extender feature. And while this does require that the laptop is unplugged for a while to allow you to fully charge. However, this requires either

  • Setting the Battery Extender Reset option to a very low value (which could be accidentally triggered), or
  • Unplug the device for X minutes, and then come back and re-plug it in (workable, but room to forget to plug it back in later, or maybe problematic if I can't be around)

In my mind, a simpler method would be adding a way to control the charge limit based on the port used. For example, being able to configure a Battery Charge Limit setting on port one to be 60%, and then have it charge to 100% for the rest of the ports. Then it's as simple as plugging the charger in elsewhere on the laptop in the cases where I know I'm about to need it.

(For some context, I'm used to macOS's approach, which allows you to trigger a full charge from the OS itself. However, since these are BIOS-level settings on a Framework, I assume an OS-level control would be much more involved.)
