Clarifying battery cap options for Xiaomi TM1701

It appears the current "Xiaomi PC Manager" mainly supports devices from 2022 onward, so it’s unlikely to work with the TM1701 model. Older models like this may only cycle between 95-100% per Xiaomi’s FAQ. Best option for TM1701 is to use a manual plug/unplug method.

Explaining charge limits for Xiaomi TM1701

Windows doesn’t offer a built-in charge limit. For Xiaomi devices, newer models (2022+) with Xiaomi PC Manager include an "Optimized Charging" feature capping at 80%. However, TM1701 might not support this. Third-party apps can only provide alerts at 80%, not enforce a limit. Other workarounds like using a smart plug or manually unplugging can help. Xiaomi's FAQ mentions not continuously charging past 100%, which may apply to TM1701 too.

Crafting response for Xiaomi TM1701 charging options

For Xiaomi laptops, recent models like the Xiaomi Book have a specific charging behavior. For the TM1701, it may not have the same options, as the supported models for "Xiaomi PC Manager" don’t list it. To check, search for “Xiaomi PC Manager” or “Mi Service.” Always exercise caution, as flashing custom BIOS can risk bricking the device.

الإجابة

On Windows laptops, an “80% charge limit” only works if the laptop’s firmware + manufacturer utility supports it — Windows itself can’t enforce a fixed charge cap. (Digital Citizen)

What to try on your Xiaomi TM1701

1) Check for Xiaomi’s laptop utility (best case)

Some newer Xiaomi/RedmiBooks have Xiaomi PC Manager / 小米电脑管家 with “Optimized Charging (up to 80%)”. (GitHub)
How to check:

Open Start → search “Xiaomi PC Manager” or “小米电脑管家”
If you find it: look for a Battery / Power section and toggle Optimized Charging / 养护充电 (it may say “up to 80%”).

Reality check for TM1701: Xiaomi’s official supported-device list for Xiaomi PC Manager mainly starts around 2022+ laptop models, and TM1701-era models aren’t listed — so your laptop may simply not have this feature. (Xiaomi)

2) Check BIOS/UEFI (if it exists, it’ll be here)

Reboot → press F2 (common on Xiaomi laptops) to enter BIOS
Look for menus like Power / Battery / Advanced and any setting like Battery Health / Conservation / Charge limit If there’s no such setting, there’s no “true” 80% limiter available.

If you don’t have an 80% option

Third-party Windows apps can only alert you at 80% (they usually can’t stop charging without firmware support). (Digital Citizen)
Practical workaround: use a smart plug / outlet timer and cut AC power when you hit ~80%.
If you keep it plugged in a lot: Xiaomi notes (for Xiaomi Book models) charging may pause at 100% and only resume after it drops (e.g., ~95%), so you may see “intermittent charging,” which can be normal behavior. (Xiaomi España)

If you tell me whether you’re on Windows 10 or 11 and what apps you see when you search “Xiaomi PC Manager / 小米电脑管家”, I can point you to the exact toggle (or confirm you don’t have it).
