It does have the Adaptive Battery Optimizer which was enabled by 
default, and I guess that's better than nothing.  I might just say to 
hell with it and tell her to not worry about it.  The article appeared 
to say letting it run down and recharging was causing wear too, and that 
keeping it plugged in would also lower total capacity.  Choose your 
poison I guess.  screw it, it's just a battery
