[Kde-hardware-devel] PowerDevil suggestion

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a schema with PowerDevil so that 
laptops could use the battery even when the AC power is plugged in?

Batteries lasts longer when partially charged and discharged, so oscillating 
between 20% and 80% charge (or some other user-set range) would . Storage works 
best around 40%. [1] Manually doing this with (un)plugging the AC cord is 
possible, but doing it with configurations would be nicer. Any thoughts? 
Thanks.
