  • There are many upsides.

    One is my phone survives longer and when I sell it second hand to a less fortunate person, they get a phone with a battery in perfect condition.

    Another is that my phone holds more value.

    Another is that I remove a worry from my head. I’m no longer questioning whether I am destroying my battery.

    Though I don’t see the upside of charging to 100%. I literally dont need to. An 80% charge lasts me like 3 days so I usually charge every 2 days in case I need my phone.

    Where’s the upside in this, unless you’re both planing to use same phone in e.g. 5 years and you might get ahead in battery capacity finally?

    Not EVERYTHING is about having something better than someone else, jesus, I’m so tired of this mentality of “I gotta have just a little more than that other guy”. Why should I try to get more if I literally don’t need it?

    Why would I want my phone to charge in 5 minutes if I spend 6-8 hours sleeping myself???

    Why would I want to charge to 100% if 80% lasts me 3 damn days? (And that’s if I use my phone a decent amount)

    If you need 100% charge daily by all means charge to 100% at full fast charging speed but I literally don’t need it.

    Though I have no idea how anyone would go through 100% of their battery before they go to sleep for any less than 2-3 hours that it takes to “slow” charge a phone… I guess using the phone as a dash cam would do that as an example.


  • I crossreferenced my testing a lot though I cant 100% guarantee what I found is accurate.

    Though I can say this: I don’t think built-in health monitors in phones are worth a damn. My gran’s phone was showing at 100% health when accubattery was at a whopping 73%. Testing the old and new battery, the new battery held up just about 30% more time than the old one on youtube playback.

    I did other things that I wont get into

    This is why I chose to trust accubattery and pretty much invalidate other testing in my head. I know it’s one single test and sample but this is my information and I trust it at lleast for now.


  • As long as your driver is smart enough to control or manipulate the voltage at certain capacities

    I feel like this is the important detail here…

    When buying a car, you can’t have a clue whether that is the case.

    I used to believe fast charging is harmless in phones too. It isn’t. I charge my phone only to 80%, and not daily. I haven’t lost a single % of battery health in almost a year. Meanwhile my friends charge to 100% and very often, always on fast charging. I got a friend to install accubattery to check their health and it was at 93% after only about 1.5 years.

    Tl;dr: I suspect the driver will be dogshit and cause batteries to get destroyed in anything but the flagship car models to increase battery service revenue BY A LOT…
