We have people trying to modify this and it caused regressions in
MATE, IIRC.

Plus, I don't think "100% charge" is right test for "battery full". At
least on thinkpads, there's configuration option, and it is common
_not_ to charge batterry above 95% or so (to increase its lifetime).

Division? Really?
