Want to control battery charging
I'd like to be able to stop my battery in my laptop from charging past a certain point, like maybe 60 or 70%. I've heard that this can extend the life of the battery. I currently do this by taking the battery out when it gets to that point. However, my house has been having a few power outages lately, and that messes up my computer when I have it in Sleep mode with the battery out. I'd like to just leave it in for that reason.
I have a Dell laptop.

I've already downloaded and tried using Dell Power Manager Lite. It looks it has what I need, but it doesn't seem to do anything. The instructions say that it only charges during specified usage times. But no matter what I set the active use times for, the battery continues charging. So, is there any other program I could use?
