Comment on The half-assed implementations of battery charge limits...

Small charge cycles are the worst for the battery, so it should only charge up to charge-limit on plugging it on and then stop until it’s (let’s say 10%) lower.

I don’t believe you’re correct. Small discharge cycles are not at all bad for the battery.

Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, the depth of discharge (DoD) determines the cycle count of the battery. The smaller the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine. There is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life. The exception may be a periodic calibration of the fuel gauge on a smart battery or intelligent device(
