No specific errors are there in the dmesg as well as journalctl, i think NBFC-linux tools sets some registers values which enables fancontrol but will stop battery charging limits but i dont have idea of debugging that. I have attached my system details below

Operating System: Arch Linux                      
          Kernel: Linux 6.6.30-1-lts
    Architecture: x86-64
 Hardware Vendor: Acer
  Hardware Model: Nitro AN515-58

Out of curiosity (this shouldn't affect anything), but do you happen to install this via the AUR? acer-wmi-battery-dkms or acer-wmi-battery-dkms-git?

[CarlosMolinesPastor]

Me too. I have the same problem and I install twice, normal and git package... When I can put 1 in /sys/bus/wmi/drivers/acer-wmi-battery/health_mode, grab this action but then when i plug it stop battery charging limits

I have nitro 5 an515-57
I have nbfc package installed too

Same issue here on AN515-57

Hi there, I can confirm that this issue is there on AN515-57 too, but I managed to workaround it.
If you check the contents of the "Acer Nitro AN515-58.json" file of nbfc, you can see that it mentions setting the 0x03 register to either 17 or 81 to control the battery or not. So, I edited the "Acer Nitro AN515-57.json" to set that register to 81 and finally reloaded the configuration, and the problem was gone.

Thanks a lot bud, i also have acer Nitro V same model AN515-57, i was scratching head when you found the solution maybe because i hadn't looked at other model's config file. Thanks once again, now i can use both nbfc & lgt lights together. Btw, are you facing constant heating in linux or is it due to thermal paste? My telegram: @unfiltered_me if so that we can discuss this further.

yeah setting it to 81 works.
