Taking measures to preserve your phones battery health is stupid
For those unaware, the battery on your phone (and anything that charges really) slowly degrades as time goes on, holding less and less of its original capacity. For example when you first buy a new phone, charging it to 100% allows you to use 100% of your phones battery capacity. But after a couple years of continuous use, charging your phone to 100% may only allow you use 80% -90% of your original battery capacity. Fully charging or fully depleting your phones battery on a regular basis makes it degrade faster. In order to prevent this many people encourage you to try and keep your phone between 20% and 80% at all times. This is stupid.
Giving yourself less battery life on a day to day basis in order to prevent your battery from degrading is counter productive. Why give yourself less battery now to keep from having less battery in the future? It’s the same outcome. If you maintain an 80% max and 20% min then that’s nearly half your phone battery gone before you even start using it. I guess MAYBE I can understand doing one or the other but I still don’t think it makes any real difference. And it definitely isn’t worth the <$50 it takes to replace your battery every 3 years or so.
