If, in fact, it is achievable...which I don't think it is. Sure you can change the 'charge voltage', but it'll still discharge at the same rate. You can change load resistance, which will also affect your charge time.
Maybe you might need a different type of display, maybe a different color?
How about some sort of constant overhead light (front lighting?)...
You've got a neat idea...and I'm thinking...still...and it hurts
