Hi, When I boot my ThinkPad into Windows, I can set the battery to operate in long-life mode. It then only charges up to 90% capacity, and won't start charging until it has dropped below 80% capacity. This is claimed to make the battery live longer -- and so far the battery HAS lasted much better than they have in previous laptops. (Of course, if I'm going to a conference, I can configure the battery to charge up to 100% again easily) I wondered if there is any way to achieve this behaviour in Linux? cheers, Toby
