Got one when I got my Samsung Fold 3. I liked smart charging on my old OnePlus but Samsung doesn't have that.. Only way is to limit it to 85% or charge to full 100%. And I rather use full 100% of my battery because I use it a lot.

Last time I checked my battery health was still "good" after 2 years of use (via Samsung diagnostic tool).

I've set my chargie charge to 85% and then recharge only when battery drops 10% or more. And at 5:00 it charges once to 100% so I have my full battery at morning

Couple of times in last two years it hasn't charged up to 100% (stopped to 85%). Don't know why, but it hasn't been huge issue.

Don't know if charge helps with battery, but at least it doesn't make it worse ๐Ÿคท

Samsung does have the ability to stop charging at 85%

Yep, as I said, only way is to limit it to 85%, but I want to charge full 100%. So that's where chargie comes in. It only charges to 100% once and shuts down charging.
