Hello all: Does anyone know of a tool/project that will allow me to read the battery condition (not the charge status) on a Dell laptop battery? Under XP there is a utility that warns that the battery is still holding a charge but that the battery is degraded and should be replaced. Also, not sure if this is possible, but I would like to control how the laptop charges the battery. I tend to

..., hands are untied - and it does seem like a sufficiently high-level concept to me even if no devices would emit that information and only some users set it for synthetic logic. Namely, I'm thinking about hover-charging which some devices do - as noted earlier. This may become more popular with LiIon batteries hitting the UPS market (laptops and phones already do often hover). Currently the concept in NUT was somewhat addressed by a `onlinedischarge_log_throttle_hovercharge` setting introduced (in https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2216 and being revised now in https://github.com/netw...

Hover charging is a new word for me, but I understand it to mean declining to charge a battery which is mostly charged. Part of the diff...
