Thanks for that !  I just compiled/installed the module from GIT and enabled
the battery care (charger limiter) at 80% on my Z13 and it works great...

However I think there's a mistake in your e-mail:  when I set
"lid_resume_control" to "2" the laptop will indeed wake up from S3 state
when I open the lid.  But S3 is suspend-to-ram, *not* suspend-to-disk...  So
I think you probably just mixed up the "(ram)" and "(disk)" labels in your
e-mail.

Keep up the excellent work !

Best regards,

Joël
