Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’ve been runnnng GrapheneOS with charge capped at 80%. Phone has not emulated thermite.
I haven’t found any discussion about the battery issues at GrapheneOS yet.
I have kinda bad battery issues on graphene and have been having it even on my old pixel 5 (currently on pixel 8a).
Could it be because I use google play services? Maybe I’ll get a huge decrease in battery consumption if I cut this off. But I do need it for maps and stuff

Meaning you charge till 80% full, or at 80% max charging speed? just curious.
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
80% full. It drastically helps extend battery life
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yep. It’s the capacity.
Anyone can cap the charging speed by using a garbage $2 700mA charger.

Is this done manually , or there’s a system thing for it ?

In GrapheneOS, Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization.

Many phones support it. My old mid range Samsung galaxy phone from 2020 had it, as does my Pixel 9a.
