About Battery Level Notifier
Besides of showing an easily readable battery indicator on the status bar, Battery Level Notifier allows you to set custom low/high limits with audible notifications for an improved battery care.
Lithium-ion based batteries age faster at charging levels below 20% and above 80%. Ideally, staying within these limits and avoiding complete charging/discharging cycles should be completely automatic (some electric car power systems do). Unfortunately, smartphones do not have (yet) the ability to stop charging without being unplugged.
This app gives you an audible and visible notification (including colored blinking LED when supported by device) when the battery reaches a user-defined LOW and/or HIGH level so that you can plug/unplug the device if convenient. The default settings are 25% and 85% respectively, which is a good compromise between battery care and usability in most cases. About once per month, you may let the battery fully charge and discharge so the internal power gauge can calibrate itself.
You may set a silent period (from-to times) in which the sound will be disabled. The notification symbol and LED will still be shown when a limit is reached.
Battery Monitor shortcut: At the top right corner, the app shows a battery symbol with the current level. Pressing it calls the system's own battery usage monitor.
This app uses very little resources. The high limit will be verified once every 5 minutes (when charging) and the low limit once every 15 minutes (when discharging).

I've now tried 20 of these charging apps and this is the best. You can adjust all of the settings to exactly what you want: on the others you can't. Plus many of them ask for extreme Permissions. This doesn't.
