Sounds reasonable, and without wanting to turn this bug report into a discussion thread: Are there some interesting values for apm_battery between 128 and 254 to try out, to sort of find a good trade-off between lots of load cycles vs. heads never being parked? I googled without much success, it seems to be all or nothing.
