    maybe, don’t really care though since i charge it overnight. So might aswell charge it slow. So yeah i am doing what you say and not caring about useless crap like that :)

      You clearly aren’t you admitted you don’t let it go above 80% as if we are in some archaic ages again.

      I decided to check if Zenphone had a similar thing to apples smart charging and it does. You can set it to steady charge and rather than “smart” charging where it learns your typical sleeping times it has schedule charge so it only hits 100% for you waking up.

        You were talking about slow charging before. About that option i don’t really care and i only use it cause it makes no difference.

        Limiting the max charge below 100% is good for battery life though. Recharging to 100% every 3 days would be possible, but pushing it., Charging every 48h to 80% works quite well and is more relaxed with 15-20% spare charge remaining.

        I am just following the phones recommendation anyway.

          I think again you’re another person that overestimates how much the goldilocks zone helps and underestimates how good/smart battery charging has got. I’m at 95% health and 3 months shy of 2 Years of use with my phone. No special treatment just charging when needed with a fast charger. The current trend/rates for me would mean I hit 80% health in about another 2 and a bit years so 4 years total.

            Thats good to hear, every advancement in battery technology is great and much needed. Though no idea why there is a need to categorize me. Am just a regular user, following the advices on the phone regarding battery health. today is the first time i ever heard of the goldilocks zone, so i guess i learned at least that it is not important anymore

        Keeping your Li-Ion battery in the “goldilocks zone” (20-80%) does have an impact on the wear. Usually it’s charging the top 10-20% of the battery which has the most impact. I replaced my last battery after 4 years, at which point it had an estimated ~70% capacity remaining.

          I think you’re overestimating how much that helps and underestimating how good/smart batteries and charging has got. 80% after 800 cycles is the current industry standard with some now pushing that to 1600 cycles.

          I’m currently at 95% health with the phone being 3 months shy of 2 years old, no care taken just charging with a fast charger when needed. At the current rate/trend for me that’s another 4 years to end up at 70% health so 6 years total.
