ios does wear management now where it'll hold off on the last 20% (or less, if it's already above 80%) until just before you usually use your phone (say, if you plug it in before bed, it'll top it off right before you'd use it in the morning) the only thing i do now is make sure I don't drain my battery completely and my release xs is at 90% max capacity

i used a 12w ipad charger on my x since launch day and it’s still at 90% battery health.

i also use https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente to limit the all powerful 16" mbp with 8 beasty cores and 64gb of ram to 40% battery charge while leaving it plugged into the 90W usb-c dock while in use unless im traveling, then i set the maximum to 80% i mean my phone and the almost 2 year old mbp still has 100% battery capacity so eh

have you considered that your lifestyle means you only ever use 50% of your device's battery capacity, so it literally does not matter that you've preserved it at 100%? i use my phone like a regular person and if the battery starts to get tired and it's still worth keeping around i pay the guy at the mall 40 bucks to replace it. yeesh.

take your battery percentage. reduce it by a third. then take half of the remaining battery percentage. that is the correct amount of battery you need.

i mean if you don’t really care about battery life you can use software. people who are serious add a spst isolator circuit with time correct oxygen free cabling in serial to the battery to ensure full isolation after optimal charge for macbooks we have an option to control the isolator with a usbc peripheral driven by a web service. the next generation will use a neural net.

if you are on a MagSafe phone and a Apple Watch, the MagSafe Duo Charger by Apple is absolutely the best in class charger. it’s $129, which seems expensive, but it’s fantastic for traveling or throwing in your work bag (it folds up nicely), and just functionally works better than any other wireless charger I’ve tried (a lot of them). if you find yourself with money that you desperately want to give Apple, it’s really a great purchase.

Mr. Nice! posted:apple recommends you discharge your iphone completely once a month then charge it back to 100% for best battery performance. this is not a contradiction as li-ion cells age, it is hard to know their true capacity and health without occasionally measuring, and measurement requires a deep discharge/recharge cycle it's a tradeoff: even though the act of measurement degrades battery cells a little, it's a net positive to do it now and then so the battery management controller can do a better job of shepherding the battery

(lithium ion batteries are twitchy things which like to set themselves on fire if you do the wrong thing to them. you know how it's pretty safe to overcharge a lead acid battery? lmao it's not safe to overcharge a lithium ion, at all, don't loving do it, fortunately your computers and phones have built in robotic janitoring of the battery)

i think that advice is mostly to keep people from freaking out when the percentages drift though. while lithium ion needs some management it presumably will just get more conservative going into slow constant-voltage charging sooner if it doesn't have the numbers. plus who realistically ever read that advice?

The Management posted:they just keep going for the bait lol BobHoward posted:avoiding full charge or discharge on a lithium ion battery really does improve its service life yeah that's literally what some of the new electric vehicle do think of the 'full' capacity as 4 volt when you first buy the car and charge it to 100%, it will actually only charge to 80% of the cell capacity, or like 3.9v then as the car ages it will use more and more of its rated cell capacity and near the end it will charge to actual 100%/4v before degrading the 'rated' capacity that way the user will still get to drive 200 miles between each charge even after like 5 years, but the downside is that the manufacturer has to use more batteries or have spare capacities in the first place this is also why you shouldnt charge to 100%/4+ v and then use the device while plugged in, because the voltage dip from soc load might cause the battery being overcharged that's how you get the iphone warning of "service battery" even when your battery life indicator is showing 95+%
