Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

This is a wish! I would like to be able to define via the power-manager a custom notification (time, text, etc.) when the battery is let's say at 50%.

The reason is simple: when working for longer periods on AC it is wise to remove the battery from the laptop (example [1] or search the web for "store battery life with charge" or similar) but not leave it completely discharged. What about having a simple notification to remind when to take the battery out?

Best regards, Nikos

[1] From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery>: Lithium-ion batteries should be charged early and often. However, if they are not used for a long time, they should be brought to a charge level of around 40%–60%
