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.
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.
Same, agreed. To me it's a bizarre topic for people to have an opinion on.
But how often do you replace your stuff?
Far less frequently than most.
I'm rocking a Surface Pro 4 as my daily driver PC, for example.
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"
I just upgraded my charger to one that is 100W but my phone and charger talk so it doesn't charge any faster than it used to. The charger can be used to charge tablets and laptops that need the oomph.
