Lenovo Ideapad 3 battery charging limit (for beginners)

Question

I have a new laptop IdeaPad 3 (15ARH05) and Ubuntu 21.04, and I want to preserve the battery in good condition by preventing non stop charging. I've searched the other questions and I couldn't find a solution.

My intention is to find a solution and also, to make this solution available for beginners (newcomers from windows), so I would need step by step guidance, with feedback from Terminal.

if I try Tp smapi I get this ERROR: could not insert 'tp_smapi': No such device (How can I limit battery charging to 80% capacity?) The solution given it referes to Lenovo thinkpad, i have Lenovo ideapad, maybe is because of this, I don't know.
if I unzip this extension https://gitlab.com/karim.samir.lotfy/charging-mode-gnome-shell-extention, I don't know how to install it (gnome extension on chrome is installed) https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4129/charging-mode/

Maybe we could start with this extension, and help me install it, to see if is working, then any other way to fix this issue. Thank you!

Anyone can help me with this extension, or other solution? – Lucianbuntu Sep 23 '21 at 05:40 — Lucianbuntu, Sep 23 '21 at 05:40

You can use https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4331/ideapad-mode/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5724/battery-health-charging/.

You may also simply type sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/conservation_mode in the terminal.
