Thanks for sharing the link. I learned 2 things: The battery is already not being charged to 100%, so it should last longer than most smartphone batteries already. Most batteries charge to 4.2V, and that is what the phone stops at, but the battery in the Librem 5 can go to 4.35v. So stopping charge at 80% in its current configuration is redundant.
