Somewhat crude but works.
The second script in `~root/bin/` is the one controlling the charge control
then, currently called 'do_not_charge'. It will by default disable charging
then, currently called `do_not_charge`. It will by default disable charging
under almost any circumstance, except the battery state of charge (SOC) has
dropped below 30%. Only then it will allow the charger to become or remain
active until SOF is > 80% again. In other words it will stop charging at
80%.
80%. The script loops with a 10 second delay to re-evaluate. I run it in a
root shell from terminal, which can look like this:
```
# do_not_charge
on AC
current=0
charger state OK, idling...
0 0
```
With this I still get more than enough charge in the Pixelbook for all my
tasks but on the other hand prevent teh battery from premature aging. Each
