How do you guys manage battery charge percentage?

I've been trying to take better care of my battery instead of just charging it to 100% every time, but actually managing the charge level is kind of annoying.

If I know I won't be riding for a while I usually try to leave it around 60%, and if I think I'll be riding soon I'll charge it to around 80%. Right now I basically estimate how long it'll take to get there, set a timer on my phone, and then go back out to the garage to check it and unplug the charger. Half the time I'm doing something else when the timer goes off, so it's definitely not ideal.

I'm curious what everyone else actually does. Do you bother stopping around 60–80%, or do you normally just charge to 100%? If you do limit your charge, how are you doing it — timer, smart plug, watching the battery percentage, adjustable charger, or something else?

Has anyone found a setup that makes this pretty much automatic, or do most people just deal with manually checking it?
