That makes me wonder if any laptop charge circuits actually do this and/or
even shut off charging at some level.
I know that my Lenovo x220's charge light goes out approximately when it
reaches a full charge. I usually disconnect the charge once I notice that
so I don't know if it is actually disconnecting the charger or if it is only
indicating the charging is "complete".
