I agree that 20% increments are annoying, and I would LOVE to find a way to change the 40% "low battery" threshold down to about 20%.

But Remember, the "standard" for cell phone battery meters (and most other handheld devices) has always been a picture of a battery with 5 "bars" inside it. Therefore each "bar" is 20%. (some only had 4 bars which would be 25% for each bar).

It was only when they tied a number to the bars that we decided 20% increments was not enough.
