Fully discharging a battery and charging it back to full charge again wears it out sooner than you might expect. Battery Buddy can help you increase the battery lifetime by automatically pausing and resuming charging. You can set alerts for low and full enough charge levels, too.
Note: Update to 3.15 resets all intervals to 24h, so please check the settings!
Important: Sailjail support is enabled in Battery Buddy 4.0.0-1, which means it requires at least Sailfish OS 4.3 to work properly. For Sailfish OS 3.3 and up you should be able to use Battery Buddy 3.17-1. For older versions Battery Buddy 3.15-1 should work fine. For Sailfish OS 2.2 you have to download the legacy build.
The application comes with a service component that takes care of charger control and alerts. This means that the application doesn't have to be opened for alerts and limits to work - which is against Jolla Store policy, and hence worth mentioning here. You can control the service from the application (start/stop and enable/disable on boot).
There is now a logging option, which can be accessed via the Settings page pulley menu, with three logging options. You can copy the log contents, too, so submitting the service log for debugging purposes is now a lot more convenient! Using --verbose and --debug flags still work as before.
Please note that the charger control mechanism may not work for every device out there. So far it has been successfully tested with the following devices:
Please let me know if it works for your device, or if it doesn't work!
Bug reports and translations are most welcome!
If you like my work and would like to support me, you can now buy me a coffee.

Good to hear!
If manual part works, the automated part works too - as long as the logic behind works. So far so good :)

Confirmed. This is great (and came out just as I was in the process of trying to get X10 support into battery notifier).
