@kibcol1049@mstdn.social Modern phones also have a feature to stop charging at 80% and trickle charge to 100% overnight. I don't know what is better, leaving the defaults which have this behaviour or changing to charge to 80%. On my laptops which I have plugged in all the time I have set max charge to 80% so they're not running at a constant 100%.

@andrew@social.hodgson.io @kibcol1049@mstdn.social Apple came out with battery recommendations a decade ago that 40-80% was best for longevity. 100% charges and discharge to shutdown shorten battery life. Current iPhone is set at 85% max. I wonder about EV’s battery life as they are the same technology.
