Is there a "charge to full now" option on plugged in Nest Cams?

Battery Nest Cams plugged in stop charging at 80%.  I need to charge them to 100%.  Is there a way to do that without physically unplugging and plugging them back in - in other words, on the app?

I'm pretty sure there is no way to change the setting.  The instructions say this:  "Important: The camera's battery charges to 100% the first time you charge it. To help prolong the life of your camera's battery, it will only charge to 80% if the camera is connected to a continuous power source during use. Before you install your camera, use the USB cable to charge the battery above 80%.

Ugh.  I wish they'd add this option to this product.  I have some Nest Cams (battery) that I'm able to leave plugged in, and others that aren't near an outlet and I have to use the battery only.  If I could swap out ones I had just fully charged with the low battery ones, it would save my a whole day of having some of my cameras down from their mounts.
