Is there any way to get the power LED to stop flashing below 20% battery life?

Good Lord this thing keeps "flashy thing"ing me whenever it drops below 20% and it is annoying as hell. How do I stop this thing??!!! :realmad:

There's a registry hack available. Try over at Ctitanic's site.

You really should try not to get below 20%. It's very hard on the battery.

If I'm away from a power source, then I have no choice.

And Don't Panic!, what exactly is this site you're talking about? Link?

Read it here. They talk about depth of discharge, which in the case of 20% left is 80% discharge. Also, although they only claim that staying above 50% will get 500 cycles, I've also seen that number estimated to be well over 1,000.
