I've read people set their machines to stop charging the battery once it reaches a certain level.
I don't understand the logic here - is it just to lower the charging cycle count?
Anyway, how do I tell my machine to stop charging? I'm using Debian.
Also, what is the command to see the gory details of the battery usage (cycle count, etc)?
Take a look at our

Re: How do I turn off battery charging over 95%
Use Tp smapi.
Why? It is said that at 100% charge the battery degrades significantly faster than at 80% or even 95%. If you subscribe to this theory, then 95% seems like a good compromise between battery longevity and available capacity at time of need.
