The point is that I never had to care about battery management for years. I just leave the phone doing its thing. Not that it’s useful or not useful to do so.
The whole point is that I leave that in the hand of people that know.
Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

Well not charging to 100% all the time will improve your battery life, and if you keep your devices a long time and have a usage pattern that allows charging it less (I leave mine on a wireless charge pad at work), then it makes sense to make some adjustments to that particular setting.
Nah, I can’t be bothered by that. And the only device’s battery I really had issues with was a seven years old laptop, years ago. BMS and software will almost always know better than the user these days.
Max charge level is not something the BMS can decide for you because it’s a trade off between battery health and daily charge level. That’s why they ask you to choose.

No need to wait aeons for someone who enjoys the sound of their own voice to slowly and laboriously explain it like astronomy to a dog. Someone wrote 15 words and I read it in about a half-second.

I’m not saying your opinion is wrong or that you have to watch the video or anything like that, but videos like this are made so that you can see the testing procedure and judge it’s validity without just having to assume they did their job right. I wouldn’t trust someone just saying “yup, tried it out, doesn’t really matter 👍🏽”

Yeah I mean there is a progress bar, you can just jump to the results if you are in a hurry.

I’m sorry that you’re allergic to information.

Given that video is the format with generally the lowest useful information transmission rate, I think you’ve got that the other way around.
