--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Hmm, I think this would be ridiculously annoying, and we'd drive people crazy.
I don't think we can do it, sorry. And if you did do this, then the battery
would simply start discharging immediately, putting more stress on it by making
it cycle more compared to letting it sit in a charged state.

If your laptop supports charge thresholds, then you can *and should* use that
to make it automatically stop charging at 80%. Absent that, I don't see a
viable path forward.
