Someone correct this if wrong but I watched a video that claimed 50% is the optimal level that keeps degradation at lowest levels. That may be why you have the decreasing options on the laptop going even down to 60% which I've never heard of.
It had something to do with the charge of lithium ions wanting equilibrium. The further it is from 50% in either direction causes wear due to ions moving around. Letting the battery completely die also wasn't recommended. We really need some experts to set this all straight!
These days worrying about extending your battery life by 5-10% is not worth the hassle of worrying about it. Apple products seem to have smart enough charging and others are probably similar. Imo not worth wasting brain cycles on.
