Sorry, but, I just find that funny. Basically, you are saying, "I want to seriously decrease the runtime of the battery by reducing the allowed battery usage, and I'll do that by actually using the battery more!"

The methods laptops used was in the BIOS and controlled by apps or the BIOS. As I understood it, it changed the charging parameters that were being used rather than run something extra.

Of course, I also think the whole thing is pointless. Again, you are basically saying, "I want my battery to last longer so I won't actually use it but I will plug it in twice as often."
