I use the same settings too. Helps to conserve battery. And they're not saved 
== lost if laptop is (turned off) and (lost it's AC power).

Fedora tip: add to your /etc/rc.local 
echo -n 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh
echo -n 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh

Best regards, Dmitry.
