I still charge to 100, but I use a slow charger, so my phone doesn’t start to spew flames while it’s charging. I wouldn’t be surprised if that helped as well (as heat is another battery killer).
I just can’t be bothered to handle that shit manually.
I charge all my shit to 100% with a fast charger, always have, and it all works great.
This “issue” is severely overblown.
its an easy way to obsess over something that will make at most a tiny marginal difference.
“whoa your phone lasts 4% more than mine because you obsessively babysat every charge session to perfection in the past 5 years? good one champ, I was instead enjoying my life”
Just build phones with the understanding that batteries are consumables and make them easy to replace and standardized. Then swap in a new $5 battery when you need to so. Make the raw materials reclaimable too of course.
But then you aren’t forced to buy a new phone every few years?
The money is in the software services nowadays anyway. Subscription AI bullshit, cloud n stuff.
Yeah give your phone a 20% battery handicap out of the box because of your battery degredation paranoia. Dumbest shit ever.
Why wait 10 years to get a 20% battery degradation when you can have it today!?
Here’s my headline: Why obsessing over battery degradation is unhealthy and you should just do whatever is easiest for you
“hey here is a way to increase the life of your battery by possibly 400%.”
“OMG! Why are you obsessing over this!”
Seriously how dare they try to help us and educate us!
the 400% figure is extremely misleading and based on old assumptions and old battery tech.
Also it you’re not keeping the phone for 20 years then it doesn’t make sense to calculate “total electrons” over the absolute entirety of the battery “life”.
