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
Still at 100% health.
you really take good care of your phone
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.
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?
Honestly it’s fine. I’ve had this iPhone for like 5 years and I just charge it whenever I’m close to a charger, never once gave a shit about the optimal charge time shit. Phone battery still lasts a whole day and I’ve never had it replaced.
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.
