theres just no real reason to

Or just charge it when it's not in use

yeah there is, less charge cycles = less wear

I thought draining was better? idk thats how it is for laptops anyhow

thats very old fashioned knowledge

not true for laptops either

older battery chemistries had a "memory" like that so it was good to keep cycling them

but not modern battery tech

That's only for Nickel

all about keeping the cycles as low as possible

oh, my laptop battery died a long time ago, its 8 years old so that makes sense

Lithium doesn't suffer from the memory effect nor does get effected by charging it differently

charging a lithium battery from 90% to 100% will cause signficantly less wear than charging from say 40% to 100%

That's why they cap the charge <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

I've been draining mine all the way since I got it hahaha

and thats why i keep it topped up during the day, so i rarely do a full charge cycle

thanks for the info man

Which phone do you have Adam?

mine has a replacable battery fortunately so its not a huge concern

Mi Mix 2S

just got it and the battery isn't THAT big so i wanna keep it healthy for as long as possible

I think xiaomi doesn't limit the charge capacity on those things

i haven't read anything about that tbh

do they not?

my samshit has been fine for at least 2 years of usage

i'll probably root it eventually and cap it with accubattery or something to stop it at 80% or so anyway

So far Samsung is the only one known to cap their battery's to 80% so the capacity stays 95% after 1 or 2 years worth of cycles

its a pretty smart thing to do tbh

Some users on XDA managed to remove the 80% battery limit but required modified software

my sony walkman has an option to cap it at 90

nice

might be the same for sony phones

it would be nice as a configurable option in any phone

Hell even the Nissan leaf has that option

what's the sweet spot for battery level

just don't wanna bother with rooting this thing just yet but i'll get around to it

20-80 right?

A (your smartphone automatically does this for you) out of 100

20% isn't exactly a "sweet spot", but it's a good idea not to let it get much lower than that

lmao I always drain whoops

charging between 20-80 causes MUCH less wear than charging from 0 - 100 tho
