Description of the new feature / enhancement

The context: I have an Honor MagicBook laptop with Windows 11 installed. Honor's "PC Manager" app is literally a garbage, I am not able even to install this program, so buggy it is. The only reason I want this app to work is battery charge limiter, which is quite handy.
So, what feature I would like to add in PowerToys is battery charge limiter for any Windows-powered notebook, which, obviously, doesn't allow a laptop's battery to overcharge and degrade fast.

Examples of the described feature:

Scenario when this would be used?

A person has a laptop without a notebook manufacture's control app (Huawei PC Manager, Lenovo Vantage). He/She sets a charging limit to 80% (or to any other percent) of battery capacity in PowerToys in order to prolong the battery's life.

The feature is built into Windows but looks like OEM app is needed.
