Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 11 months agoYup. If it’s such a huge issue, phones should only charge to 80% and report that to the user as 100%. But phone manufacturers won’t do that, because users want to be able to report the longest battery life possible when selling new phones. They don’t care that the charging habits are bad for battery longevity, because the user has already purchased the phone.

And they will purchase their next phone sooner if the battery on their old phones die early.
