I found a simple way to limit battery charging on ThinkPad Hackintosh.

No Windows, no Lenovo Vantage, no AlDente.

Tested on T430 + macOS Monterey.

Just boot Linux Mint once and run:

echo 60 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_start_threshold

echo 80 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold

echo 60 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_start_threshold

echo 80 | sudo tee /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_stop_threshold

Reboot back to macOS → works.

Battery now charges from ~60% to ~80%.

If it ever goes above 80%, just briefly unplug below 80% and plug back — it won’t continue charging.
