Title:
  Optimize battery lifespan option

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  This is an enhancement request.

  Based on lenovo power manager, the options are

  *Always fully charged *:  Select this setting to always be charging
  your battery on AC mode. I don't recommend this - this is the setting
  in Linux.

  *Optimize for battery lifespan (automatically change for me)*: I still
  do not understand this setting. Right now, it seems to not charge the
  battery unless it gets under 96% charge, and then it charges to full.
  Its language implies that it changes that charge level based off of a
  good compromise between battery life and charge.

  *Custom*:  I recommend this. Following the Battery Guide, I set my
  battery to Start charging when below 20% and to Stop charging at 40%.

  This is extremely useful and essential to prolong battery life:
