1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Feature Request: Suspend Tasks while Battery is Charging (Message 69875) Posted 1 Jun 2016 by SaltyHash Post: I've got Boinc running on my laptop, and configured to suspend tasks while the laptop is running on battery power. If I start charging my laptop and my battery is low and Boinc is NOT running, then it takes less than an hour to recharge the battery; however, if I start charging my laptop and my battery is low and Boinc DOES start running again (the manager's current behavior), then it may take a few hours to charge back up, which also puts a lot of strain on the charger. I'd like an option under "When to Suspend" that says something along the lines of "Suspend while battery charge is less than [X] %". This would let the laptop recharge like normal, if set to a relatively high percentage. I find myself frequently having to manually suspend the tasks to let the laptop recharge at a reasonable rate.
