| Common knowledge and from what I've read about batteries the last two decades. And from using AccuBattery.
Please do state why it is wrong, so we can sort it out :) Samsung recommmends not going under 20% charge, but nothing about going over 80%
https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-can-i-... gadgethacks thinks that we should avoid going over 80% https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/set-charging-limit-yo... Apple has fantastic information:
Don't charge past 80%, if it's too hot!
https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
The expected battery cycles are around 500 and then you have at least 80% capacity left on the battery. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208387 Both samsung and apple says that you should have at least 50% charge if you store the device long term and also avoid going too low and leave it empty. I get that apple/samsung will not recommend not charging 100%, from using accubattery (play store) they say that a full charge uses about one charge cycle, but charging to 82% does not take any charge cycle. From what I've read the best thing for the longevity of the battery would then be to have it between 20 and 80%. But if you will replace the battery or phone after 500 charging cycles you could just charge it to 100% as much as you like. But never go below 20%. AccuBattery should really add a warning about the battery health when going under 20%. I did not know that it's possible to monitor battery health in iphone settings nowadays, that's great! |
