Description
GNOME Settings currently lacks detailed statistics about battery and power usage. There are also no power saving features (apart from ppd profiles). These things are important for portable devices such as laptops and mobiles where battery usage matters. So the proposal is to add battery monitoring and health features such as ability to set a charging threshold (I've already collected the necessary information to implement this), know the battery health and a battery usage graph. There should also be some power saving features such switching to a specified power profile when on battery or when the battery drops below a certain %, automatically lower display refreshrate when power source changes.
