I don’t know why everyone is concerned about the top end of the these batteries when we should be limiting depth of discharge instead, which causes way more damage than charging to 100%.

There should be an option for the machine to pretend like 40% is 0% and just go to sleep.

I know Windows has this option but it’s deep inside the power settings, they should bring it out of there.

I don’t think Apple devices have anything like that.

Because that's easier to control. In my case, I rarely use my laptops on battery, and when I do I tend to keep an eye on the battery level. If I have to use it till empty, it's because I'm actually doing something that needs to be done, so too bad for the battery life. If I'm randomly browsing HN, I'll stop around 20-30% and go do something else.

With charging, I can't plug and unplug my screen every 5 minutes just to keep it around 80%.

The research I've found shows far more degradation at high SOC than low.
