  Don’t charge above 80%, don’t discharge below 20%

  This how I keep my phones healthy for 4-5 years at a time. I only this year upgraded my Pixel 4a 5G to a 7a, and only because Grapheme EOLd the 4a.

  My A52s has a built-in function to not let it charge above 80. I keep it on unless I need the extra 20% for instance when I’m away for a while.

    Really? My girlfriend’s A52 doesn’t have this feature. That is part of why I bought my Xperia 5ii. Is it a new feature?

    (After 3 years the battery is at 70% on mine because apparently Sony uses shitty as hell batteries and software drain glitches, while my girlfriend’s A52 always charging to 100% lasts a day and a half with 3x the use, would not recommend)

      Maybe it’s only in the A52s, not the A52.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 has this too.

  I was actually thinking of using the battery charge limit feature to prevent charging above 90%. Not sure I could do 80 without an charge during the day, lol
