For Thinkpads running Linux, you can do this (somewhat manually) with tpacpi-bat: https://github.com/teleshoes/tpacpi-bat I set mine to stop charging at 85% and not start again until it drops below 75%. If I know I'm going to be away from power for a while (e.g. traveling) I manually tell it to charge up to 95%. Anyone know if there's something like that for Android?

Yea I just noticed the (much) cheaper E series line. I can't really tell much of a difference between the E495 and T495? Looks like perhaps the T495 used soldered on components in order to be thinner or lighter? Makes it kind of a deal breaker, especially for twice the price. Any idea of battery charging thresholds are configurable like on the normal T series? (I use this script: https://github.com/teleshoes/tpacpi-bat)
