Run while on battery

Post by FKlusmann »

Currently FAH stops whenever my laptop is on battery, and resumes when plugged in. I see no way for me to control this. Since it is better for battery life to drain and charge, I often use the machine disconnected.

I would like to allow FHA to continue until my battery is 50% (or other value) drained.

How may I set this? Thank you.

You can disable pause on battery via FAHControl.
If you use power light, you need to set the number of cpus to use on the slot.
Then you need to set power to something other than light.

For pausing at 50% battery, you will need to roll your own script or helper app to appropriately pause and unpause the client.

When the client is running, there should be an icon in the sys tray. Click that and select Advanced Control in the pop up menu.

Thank you, @calxalot.

I do not see the icon.

I looked in C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient and found FAHControl.exe

I appreciate your help.
