I'm not sure what you mean, by default most laptops will charge to 100% and keep trickle charging it to that level consistently while on AC.
Setting a charge max of 40% would be ideal, but there is point where you want to maintain some level of runtime when removed from AC, so 80% is a reasonable compromise.
