In my opinion, all the thresholds (which voltage/capacity should we charge to, when to start charging again, etc) should be configurable for power-users, via sysfsnodes. This way, more creative use cases (like, charging only to 80% of capacity during "regular" daily usage, for tremendous saves on battery life wear) would be possible.

I've suggested it long time ago, but it seems that Pali haven't had time - or will - to implement those. Considering, that bug with graphical indication of battery level in status menu still isn't fixed (it uses "design capacity", not real one, as a max, so 1200 mAh on 3000 mAh battery will be shown as full battery icon, 600 mAh as half-full, etc), I think that the former (time) is more likely case. Anyone knowledgeable with source code is highly encouraged to send patches...
