First off, I think you're completely right in that laptop batteries are definitely a non-ideal solution. And, I'm really not an expert in this, so take my words with a grain of salt.
You could mitigate a bit of the dangers by doing some of the following (I only did the first):
If you are an under $100 budget, there seems to be an argument that maybe you are willing to risk a little bit for that extra power reliability.
For that the laptop has to support a charge level on a hardware level though, just setting a limit will cause it to constantly switch between using the battery and charging the battery which would be much worse than keeping it at 100%. Most older and budget systems don't support that
I see. On the surface, that seems to make sense. I might need to rethink how I configure my batteries.
