#32828 — Limit battery charge?

On my Lenovo ThinkPad laptop I can limit the maximum battery charge 
level, and it is recommended not to charge beyond 95% for longest 
battery life (longterm life, not how long the computer will run for a 
given charge level). Is there an Android app that allows such a setting?

I don't know of any app which can control the charging process - since
this would likely require root access anyway.

On the other hand: many Android devices will only charge up to 95%
anyway and then report the battery as "full" (e.g. when there is a
charge LED it will light up green etc.). Sometimes people complain why
their devices don't do a "full" charge.
