Kind of a tough row to hoe there. The difference in voltage between 100% charge and 20% charge is only about one volt under the best of circumstances. Throw in variations due to temperature and you have a hard time nailing down that halfway point without venturing into the realm of electronics.. Your best bet is to just buy one of those "battery saver" type products: < http://www.compactappliance.com/xq/JSP.detailmain/itemID.2793/itemType.PRODUCT/iProductID.2793/qx/shopping/product/product.htm >
