A lot of laptops allow for various trickle charging modes. Generally they stay charged between 90 and 100% (charges to 100 then wait until 90), some allow for charging to 80.

In my experience there can be memory effects when fully capping at 80% over the years, though.



Li-ion batteries do not have a memory effect. LiFePO4 do, however.
