I'm working on a program that uses the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface to stop charging my netbook battery to 100%, thus shortening its life. Instead, it will start charging at 40% and stop at 60%. There will be an option to charge to 100% in case I need a full charge to work off the grid. There will also be an option to turn off the charging as sometimes the dual load of charging the battery and running the computer trips the circuit breaker of the power supply at an airplane seat.
