Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News
When we think about battery longevity, we think about charging cycles. But that’s not the whole story.
You're viewing a single thread.
For android users, we can easily set notifications if battery level reach certain range by using apps like Tasker. Before this I set it for full charge. Change it to above 80% just now.
EDIT: tasker proj file in case anyone is interested. Link.
Samsung straight up has battery protection option which doesn't allow it to charge above 85%.
Thank you for the great tip. I have turned this on.
You are welcome.
Nice. But I don't use Samsung. Used to but no more.
Built-in Meta services?
Am assuming it will drip to other manufacturers pretty fast. I think Motorola already has it.
I thought it was available in every brand already.
It exists in OnePlus, Oppo and Assus.
I wouldn't be surprised. Hardware should already be there since Android supports stopping charge when battery is too hot. Adding software feature to stop charge at certain percentage is not that difficult.
