I just came across this handy-dandy, text-only guide. It works and just needed a logout to take effect! I just figured I'd drop a reminder to everyone here that lithium-ion batteries are happiest being no higher than 80%, normally speaking. Hopefully we can move to graphite or sodium batteries... or maybe even LiFePO~4~...

Actually, I've decided to top it out at 60% for even greater longevity.
