SUMMARY
Can something like Battery Health Charging (https://github.com/maniacx/Battery-Health-Charging) be  implemented to the battery tray icon which could be helpful for laptop user wherein the users who are always connected to power source could set the charge limit to 60% or lower as per their need so as to maximise the lifespan of battery , balance mode which is about 80%, or full charge mode 100% directly from the battery applet. There is this gnome extension which does this

We have battery charge limits available within system settings.

I'm not sure it's something that needs to be changed so frequently it requires applet support.
