Hey

First, please read this article:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/a...ased_batteries

TL DR
A Li-Io or Li-Po battery charging cycle like charged to 100%, discharge to 15% and repeat, will have only 300-500 charge/discharge cycles battery lifespan, while a battery charging cycle like charged to 75%, then discharge to 25% and repeat, will get 1,500-2,500 charge/discharge cycles battery lifespan.

I have Samsung laptop, that have application (Samsung Easy Settings), that control charging process. When "BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER" is checked, then charging stops at 80% and will not get higher, and when laptop is constantly connected to wall, then app will let drop battery level 75%, then recharge to 80% again.
I'm using this laptop over 3 years and battery last over 5 hours (time on battery is shorter about 10-15min from "brand-new" state)

So, I'm looking for an android app (for rooted devices), that will stop charging at user predefined level (for example 80%), and cause alert/notification (on discharge), when battery level dropped below user predefined level (for example 25%) - to save battery lifespan.

PS: There is a trend, the newer, high-end devices have built-in batteries, without possibility to replacable (solid smarphone body, hard to open without damage), so that app could make device live longer :cool:

PS2: I read about charge control by "/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled", but this doesn't exist in my ROM (crDroid, CM13 based on i9505)

PS3: The tasker helped me to "detect" charging over 80% (profile AC is ON and Battery level is over 79% -> task "say bla bla bla disconnect Your phone from wall"), but this is only "workaround" and doesn't work at night ;) (You have to wake up and disconnect phone from wall)
