TLP Charge Threshold Configuration on Lenovo IdeaPad

bl flag
Kubuntu 23.04
Lenovo IdeaPad (not ThinkPad) 3 15ALC6

Hey, I'm trying to configure TLP to start charging when the battery reaches 50% and stop when it reaches 80%. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. Here's the comment in the tlp.conf file:

# Battery Care -- Charge thresholds
# Charging starts when the charge level is below the START_CHARGE_THRESH value
# when the charger is connected. It stops when the STOP_CHARGE_THRESH value is
# reached.
# Required hardware: Lenovo ThinkPads and select other laptop brands are driven
# via specific plugins, the actual support status is shown by tlp-stat -b.
# For more explanations and vendor specific details refer to
#   https://linrunner.de/tlp/settings/battery.html
# Notes:
# - ThinkPads may require external kernel module(s), refer to the output of
#   tlp-stat -b
# - Vendor specific parameter value ranges are shown by tlp-stat -b
# - If your hardware supports a start *and* a stop threshold, you must
#   specify both, otherwise TLP will refuse to apply the single threshold
# - If your hardware supports only a stop threshold, set the start value to 0

The thing is, it's not very clear for me whether my device supports "a start *and* a stop threshold."

Here's the output of tlp-stat -b:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
