      Don’t phone battery indicators lie to you now so that 0% displayed is actually about 20% specifically because of this?

        Yes and 100% isn’t 100%

        People and their batteries though… It’s a futile obsession for some. It doesn’t matter how much science or logic you throw at them there’s always something.

        Like how fast charging hasn’t for some time done like a full max rate for the entire time to keep heat within tolerances but still some people think doing the work themselves is somehow better thermal management than modern battery controllers to the point they think it will make a material difference.

        Just as important. And most phones these days have a setting to prevent it from charging to 100%. E.g. I set mine to stop at 90%.

          I run grapheneos which doesn’t have that. I think if I get a smart plug I could use an automation in Home Assistant to turn the charger off.

        Very important. Keep it between 20-80 is a good idea. I differs between different battery chemistries though.
