When we think about battery longevity, we think about charging cycles. But that’s not the whole story.

    For android users, we can easily set notifications if battery level reach certain range by using apps like Tasker. Before this I set it for full charge. Change it to above 80% just now.

    EDIT: tasker proj file in case anyone is interested. Link.

      Samsung straight up has battery protection option which doesn’t allow it to charge above 85%.

        Nice. But I don’t use Samsung. Used to but no more.

          Am assuming it will drip to other manufacturers pretty fast. I think Motorola already has it.

            I thought it was available in every brand already.

            It exists in OnePlus, Oppo and Assus.

              I wouldn’t be surprised. Hardware should already be there since Android supports stopping charge when battery is too hot. Adding software feature to stop charge at certain percentage is not that difficult.
