I think that depends on the use case. I use my system in mobile mode
very often, bouncing around between a couple of charging points (two
in my house, one in the office etc.) and I know that I am always happy
to know that my battery has been topped up and the machine is ready
for another long leg without charging opportunities on the road.

I agree that the notification shouldn't require an action but I think
that the notifications in itself are pretty useful. Maybe we should
include an option to suppress battery notifications in general in
power manager?

Cheers,
Fab
