Why is rechargeable battery advice always so inconsistent?>let your battery discharge every now and then>never let your battery hit 0%, always keep some charge in it>but don't charge it to full constantly>don't charge it frequently>don't let it go too long without being on a charger
>>107711424Discussions on how to charge your battery is the same as discussions on how to apply thermal paste to your CPU: it doesn't matter.
Different BMCs handle things differently
Just use your device normally you probably won't be able to tell the difference
Don't bother with all that voodoo and pay the $139 every two years for a new battery, ezpz.
Doesn't matter, it's the same fucking thing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLS5Cg_yNdM
the only solid advice is charge it up to 80%. it will last much longer.
Lithium batteries are inherently disposable products so having them permanently embedded inside of cutting-edge electronic devices is the peak of capitalistic excess and stupidityPeople in the far future will look back at it like medieval kings eating 20-course meals of roasted peacock and boar meat and ostrich eggs or whatever the fuck
>>107711579This is the actual reason. When battery replacements became expensive and not user accessible, lots of myths rose about how to preserve batteries as long as possible.
test
>>107711438I agree. It's like a few percent difference overall.Your OS will prevent the worst case scenario anyway.Just change your battery when it won't last a day anymore.
cap it to 80, charge at 20, carry a power bank with a decently long cable that will last you for several charges and replace it if it goes to shit
>>107711424Don't charge your phone
>>107711424I use two potatoes to charge my stuff
>>107712118I charge my phone to 100% and let it drop to 0% before charging because phones are made for retards and 100% and 0% should already be physical spec 80% and 20% and if I'm wrong I don't care anyway, my phone is 7 years old and its battery still holds for 3 days unless I run some bing bing wahoo.
>>107711424Schizo tips to avoid their phone exploding.
>>107711424The BMS does all of this for you. You do not need to care. Just use your phone normally.
>>107711643I tend to let it discharge to very low levels if I do that as a typical day of usage consumes 75%
>>107711424Just replace it when it runs out, all of this is just pointless micromanaging.
>>107711424>Why is rechargeable battery advice always so inconsistent?Because whoever is writing the article has no idea and is mixing up chemistries and reciting old proverbs>NiMHOld and very finicky chemistry. This is the thing where the memes come from. Discharge fully, never charge by small amounts. Recovering from deep discharge is a ballache of its own.>Lead acidKeep it charged up to keep it healthy, handles abuse otherwise. Be careful tho, fully charged contains acid attack juice, and charging produces flammable hydrogen gas. Goes bad after fewest cycles.>Lithium stuffThese will last longest if they're kept at 50%, but that's not how life works so you do you. If they're overcharged they'll puff up, but the real danger is the dendrites forming from old age and bridging something, making a short, which can ignite gas in the swellings.>Lithium ironLittle bit safer variant because heat doesn't make it cascade, otherwise rather similar to normal lithiums.>Sodium ionSomething to be excited about in the future, since it's salt and carbon. 4/5ths of lithium J/kg but otherwise works like capacitor.
>>107711424Just mitigate it with a shit ton of chargers around your house. My iPhone 15 Pro is usually hooked up charging if I set it down.
>>107711424Probably because different battery chemistries and types are prone to different kinds of issues and require different "care" procedures. If you're talking about Li shit you find in modern devices, those batteries are the "happiest" (as in the degradation rate is slowest) around 50% charge. This means it's "best" for the battery to avoid both full discharges and full charges as well, for example using it between 20% and 80%, or 30% and 70% and so on. You can probably tell that this comes with the major downside of getting less battery time from the devices, if you're effectively not using part of the battery capacity, so it's not always practical.Still you can at least avoid shit like keeping the battery at 100% all the time. This is probably one of the worst things you can do since it won't just degrade capacity but it's the thing which turns Li batteries into spicy pillows of toxic fire, which is the worst part about this chemistry. If you have a device which has a battery (like a laptop) but frequently runs from external power you will be very well served by setting a battery charge limit.
>>107712610thisit's just like every ssd has 10-20 GB of hidden reserved storage
>>107711438You're wrong.>>107711643Not really, it's just that prolonged sitting at high charge levels is bad like laptop on charger scenario.Charging to 100% and then discharging to 50% is better than charging to 80% and discharging to 30%>>107711424This graph is all you need to know about batteries as end user. Depth of discharge has biggest impact on longevity.I'm on year 7 with my shitty samsung a70 and original battery simply because at the end of the day I'm usually at 50-60% before recharging again over night.
>>107712610>100% and 0% should already be physical spec 80% and 20%Simply not true.
>>107712118>cap it to 80, charge at 20bad advice
>>107711424There is nothing inconsistent in that.
>>107711424https://youtu.be/kLS5Cg_yNdM>tl;dwfast charging doesnt make a difference keeping between 20-80% some difference
