      I wonder if an app could be created to stop that trickle charge to 100% feature and change it to, something like, "Off until battery discharges to XX%"?

        I don't think so; at least Android doesn't seem to expose the required functionality:

        https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/BatteryManager.html

        https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=30612

        btw, this is something that (good) laptops allow you to configure; e.g. my Thinkpad is set to "only start charging when below 50%, and only charge up to 70%"
