How can I mitigate battery wear at home?

oh right, that. I guess I was wondering if there was an option that could be tweaked at runtime… I think I’d like the possibility of flipping that switch before I take the laptop out for travel, like charge it to 100% sometimes, but not always…

You can use fw-ectool in linux for this, eg:

sudo ectool fwchargelimit 80
