you really take good care of your phone
Mine is at 100% battery health after more than a year and 218 cycles, so for me it seems to function very well.
Sounds good. Whats your phone?
I was doing it at first but I had to recharge through the day even when charging in the morning to 80%, so I stopped. I decided it wasn't worth having worse battery life at the current time to avoid having the same bad battery life 2 years after. I made the calculation and I didn't mind replacing the battery after 2-3 years of use, especially because it's not a very expensive repair
I've got a note 9 that I keep in that range. It'll be 6 years old in august. Battery is still decent, enough that I havent noticed. I throw it on a charger here and there, but It'll go a couple days without.
I got five years out of my last phone, a OnePlus 5. Moved it to lineage after OnePlus stopped doing updates. I only started to do the 80% thing about 18 months in when I learned about it.
Current phone is a OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. It has the option to auto stop charging at 80% but I find it needs to be fully charged occasionally or it loses that and also found it quite warm in the morning with this enabled so I just generally manage it manually.
Their chargers are ridiculously fast and I have one in the car with their proprietary fast charge protocol so it's not an issue.
My biggest issue with the phone generally is that it loses a lot of charge while idle (like 17% overnight in airplane mode after a reboot) and won't tell me what's causing it.
I'm pretty happy with the results. My phone is around 88% health after 3.5 years. I haven't run a full charge cycle on my laptop for a while but it's in a similar ballpark after 4.5 years.
I do this with my laptop and my phone. Don't know if it makes a real difference, but works well since both spend most of the time plugged in. I keep my devices for about 3 years which isn't enough time to notice battery degradation unless you get a defective one.
My Samsung A5 2017 lasted ~5 years; granted I didn't use it very heavily (e.g. modern unnecessarily power-hungry social media apps; I mainly use alternative open-source lightweight apps for anything I can)
But it still works today! Handed down to low-tech family, battery lasts ~4 days or sth
The only reason I upgraded was because the performance was getting worse for everyday moderate usage (nowadays you need to have at least 6GB of RAM for some reason π)
(I use Acc(A) to set charging capacity, current/speed, and temperature)
Honestly itβs fine. Iβve had this iPhone for like 5 years and I just charge it whenever Iβm close to a charger, never once gave a shit about the optimal charge time shit. Phone battery still lasts a whole day and Iβve never had it replaced.
