Edit: I have found that, Dell Power Manager application to be the perfect solution for this. The custom charging option lets you select the percentage you want your device to be charged upto.

If your system has Power Management Options, then select the drop-down for Battery Health Manager and select Maximize my battery health. This setting maximizes the battery health by lowering the maximum battery charge level to 80%. Next, press the F10 key to save the changes and exit.

Dell Power Management is only compatible on paper with windows 10. On windows 11 the download is blocked in the microsoft store. BUT you can still install the windows 10 version and choose the run on AC or the personalized option for your battery.

Dell Power management can be downloaded here : https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ca/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=kdhhr
