    Don’t phone battery indicators lie to you now so that 0% displayed is actually about 20% specifically because of this?

      Yes and 100% isn’t 100%

      People and their batteries though… It’s a futile obsession for some. It doesn’t matter how much science or logic you throw at them there’s always something.

      Like how fast charging hasn’t for some time done like a full max rate for the entire time to keep heat within tolerances but still some people think doing the work themselves is somehow better thermal management than modern battery controllers to the point they think it will make a material difference.

      For a phone, you’re probably going to keep it for less than 5 years, so babying the battery really isn’t worthwhile since the battery will probably outlast how long you keep your phone for if you just charge overnight every night or fully charge it daily

        Though some of the phone makers are finally getting the message that some of us want to keep a hold of our expensive phones for a long while. My new Pixel 8 has 7 years of security updates, which should work fine for my purposes. I’ll probably replace the battery somewhere in there, though.
