Well...offer a laptop with less battery life than the competition

So, what was the termination voltage in your final charger design?

Jumper-selectable 4v10 and 4v20 (solder-blob bridge on the PCB - the
design was for a large battery supply house). That way the vendor
could tailor it to the customer application - which was NOT commodity
appliances.
