Giving some kind of notification a good while before the battery is drained empty (perhaps around 33 %) would be a good thing, since a battery can only handle a certain number of full discharges.
http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm Of course, users would need to be educated. How about a red notification icon with a tooltip that says “The battery is at 33 % capacity. You still have n hours, n minutes of runtime, but if you have the chance to connect the computer to mains now, it will prolong your battery lifetime.” -- battery monitor is red even when I have over 30% battery left https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
