    Oh no you are one of them people. Slow charging isn’t going to preserve your battery health by any substantial amount. Fast charging isn’t going to kill your battery by any substantial amount.

    Just use your phone and stop being worried about useless crap like that.

      maybe, don’t really care though since i charge it overnight. So might aswell charge it slow. So yeah i am doing what you say and not caring about useless crap like that :)

        You clearly aren’t you admitted you don’t let it go above 80% as if we are in some archaic ages again.

        I decided to check if Zenphone had a similar thing to apples smart charging and it does. You can set it to steady charge and rather than “smart” charging where it learns your typical sleeping times it has schedule charge so it only hits 100% for you waking up.

          You were talking about slow charging before. About that option i don’t really care and i only use it cause it makes no difference.

          Limiting the max charge below 100% is good for battery life though. Recharging to 100% every 3 days would be possible, but pushing it., Charging every 48h to 80% works quite well and is more relaxed with 15-20% spare charge remaining.

          I am just following the phones recommendation anyway.

          Keeping your Li-Ion battery in the “goldilocks zone” (20-80%) does have an impact on the wear. Usually it’s charging the top 10-20% of the battery which has the most impact. I replaced my last battery after 4 years, at which point it had an estimated ~70% capacity remaining.
