That's fantastic, thanks so much for elaborating. I think I'll experiment with different thresholds to see what ends up being the most useful. With the rarity of how often I end up unplugging, I think a lower minimum charge might be better, but it sounds like 50% is probably lower than anyone...

This is super helpful, thanks. Just a few other questions: When you say 50% is aggressive, do you mean that I'm going below the optimal discharge level to maximize the battery's condition as long as possible? For example, I know letting it discharge to 0 is pretty much always very hard on it...

Thanks for that. Sounds like it's not nearly as good as just pulling the damn thing out either. I found a different option in the bios that basically lets me set a maximum and minimum charge percentage. What do you think of that? What I've set it to is to only charge up to 90% and then only...
