How does one set the battery care function once running this kernel?
Is there a file to edit to tell it when to charge full or stop or is
there some user space application that comes along for the ride?  I've
read through the readme's and I'm not really seeing exactly how this
control is done.  But getting longer battery life both on each charge
(cd power) and over the life of the pack itself (battery care) are my
main goals.

Thanks
