  Description     : A simple notifier to hopefully extend battery life.

A lot laptop batteries use [Lithium-ion
batteries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery).

There is a simple technique to help extend battery life, by keeping the charge
not so high, and not so low.

Some laptops already include a feature to help with this, namely thinkpads with
[tp_smapi](https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi), but most do not have that
feature.

A work-around not having kernel level access to start/stop charging is to do it
manually, but as humans it is hard to remember to monitor the percentage.

This notifier helps with the task by sending notifications at those moments.
