Comment on BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient
46_and_2@lemmy.world 1 week agoDo I understand correctly - you charge to 80%, have zero degradation, but also only use 80% of your battery at most, because of that.
Your fast-charging friend, meanwhile, has been using all 100% down to 93% battery for these 1.5 years. Maybe, in a bad scenario his battery will degrade to 80% in 1-2 years and he’ll start using only 80% of his like you?
Where’s the upside in this, unless you’re both planing to use dame phone in e.g. 5 years and you might get ahead in battery capacity finally?

There are many upsides.
One is my phone survives longer and whem I sell it second hand to a less fortunate person, they get a phone with a battery in perfect condition.
Another is that my phone holds more value.
Another is that I remove a worry from my head. I’m no longer questioning whether I am destroying my battery.
Though I don’t see the upside of charging to 100%. I literally dont need to. An 80% charge lasts me like 3 days so I usually charge every 2 days in case I need my phone.
Not EVERYTHING is about having something better than someone else, jesus, I’m so tired of this mentality of “I gotta have just a little more than that other guy”. Why should I try to get more if I literally don’t need it?
Why would I want my phone to charge in 5 minutes if I spend 6-8 hours sleeping myself???
Why would I want to charge to 100% if 80% lasts me 3 damn days? (And that’s if I use my phone a decent amount)
If you need 100% charge daily by all means charge to 100% at full fast charging speed but I literally don’t need it.
