Weekend poll: When do you charge your smartphone?

When it reaches 20% I charge it back up to 80.

I read somewhere a long time ago to keep it between 40% and 80% to prolong the battery life. That's what I try to do.

@reflex I'll kinda follow that, but I let the phone do that for me. I use the advanced charging controller module. Its telegram channel: https://t.me/acc_group

Usually every night when I go to bed. Sometimes I need to charge it during the day because the battery is dying.

Every night while I sleep, plus any time it gets too low, like 30% or so.

Whenever the power levels don’t feel “safe” which is anytime that it’s below 80%.

Whenever it gets down to the 30s if there’s a charger available, but only to around 80. This ends up being once or twice a day depending on usage (i sometimes watch hours of videos while doing chores and that sucks my battery).

As long as I am at my desk my phone is on my wireless charger most of the time. I don’t limit the battery in any way.

Mostly once per day in the late evening before bed or at about 15% whichever comes first; have battery protection to stop charging at 85% as I want to avoid battery degradation.

Pretty much the same, but also have a very fast charger in the car for when I notice I’m at 40% before going somewhere boring.

Always when my phone has 20%

pumpsnabben , 11 months ago

This is my thinking as well, I wonder if it’s still the “best” way.

Whenever charging is available, but I limit the charge level and speed with ACC to improve the service life of the battery.

acc? is that soft- or hardware?

Every night when I go to bed.
