Battery abnormality questions

[veltix]

Hi guys. To those who own 2022and 2023 phone before. Did you charge your phone to 100%? Any signs of battery abnormality after 2 yrs or more?

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Yes battery deletes faster due wear and tear. So now for my new phone I make good practice to charge at 20% minimum and stop at 80% to maximise longevity.

no abnormally, just need to take note

1.do note overcharge.
Once hit 100% give another 5 or 10 mins before disconnect

2.to prolong battery life, try to recharge when hit 10% or below.

3.avoid multiple times of charging daily.

Nothing unusual about batteries made from 2022-2023, just wear and tear from usage. Especially with mobile gaming on the rise, phones (and their batteries) tend to run hotter and burn through more cycles faster.

IMHO.
Have a look at the OS. My Samsung A14 5G, have features that protect the battery.
E.g. Charge to 80% and after charging to 100%, it will disconnect and let it drop before top-up again.

another one of his random questions on battery life / battery heating up/ life span / lifecycle etc ..

Battery does not last forever. Battery is a consumable product. Nitpicking about battery life or lifecycle is akin to worrying that your stockpile of rice will run out.

 

[froztheart]

Good habits like what others have mentioned and replacing it when needed will be sufficient.
Its an expandable component of your device anyway.

The first comment is correct. Smartphone battery last longer when it is kept within around 20 or 30% - 80%.

Smartphone batteries these days, are lithium batteries which should be recharged frequently to prevent deep discharges, which can significantly decrease the overall cycle life of the battery.

Some conservative ones even have frequent charging between 40% and 60%, battery capacity may be kept around 90% after 1 or 2 years.
Anyone who argues that frequent charging of smartphones are bad these days, they are probably misinformed.

Deep discharges (below 20% or flat) and full charge are the common factors to wear down the battery lifespan at faster rate.
Other possible factors are heat and fast charging, leading to premature degradation.

Contrary to the older practices when phones are using nickel based batteries, where they fully discharge it and charge it fully, smartphone batteries last longer when battery charge is kept above 20/30% and below 80%.
The only good time to do a full discharge/charge occasionally is to calibrate the battery readings, probably once a month.

just buy phones with built in battery protection feature like samsung.

otherwise, charge to 85%, use battery saver mode which prevents cpu boosting

can consider changing battery when it gets low after 3 years. set aside $60-$100

Those who claim that you can frequent charge your phone nowadays are the BIGGEST LIARS.
I am running a galaxy a33 and charges once every 2 days (till today) verse a colleague who run a galaxy flip and charges his phone every time he is at his seat. His phone battery life last less than a day.

I have been in the IT industry for 2 decades (2004 to 2024)
Those laptop with short battery life and those laptop with longer battery life
I've checked with them their charging habits and the conclusion is very obvious, those charge frequently and overcharging always shorten the battery life.

Discipline is the key to kill the bad habit
Practice it and you will know who is telling the truth and who is the BIGGEST LIARS.

IMHO.
I seldom need to charge because I use very much less.
As I use very much less, charging to 85%, my battery can last for quite sometime.

Does your friend/colleague charge and maintain battery within 20/30% and 80/90%? It is likely to be a 'no'.
Frequently having deep discharge and fully charged will lead the battery to have premature degradation.

And does the friend/colleague do gaming, streaming, or intensive tasks on the device?
Everyone's usage is different, cannot just claim frequent charging led to worse battery life.

It is as simple as - don't charge smartphones frequently to over 80/90% and charge it before it goes lower than 30/20%.
That is how lithium batteries work, I guess people don't have to be in IT industry to get it.

I plan to charge my phone from 20-30% up to 85-90%. This won't hurt the battery, right? Even charging from 50% to 85 or 90% should be fine. For Samsung users, you can customize the percentage at which you want to stop charging. After 2 or 3 years, will the battery still drain quickly? I charge it daily, as I play games with my phone.

I shall play the devil's advocate here.

You are going to change phone every 2-4 years anyway, why bother so much about the battery lasting when even you can either change your battery with first or 3rd party or just simply change your phone.

While personally i feel its a good habit to keep stay the 20-80 range, there is no need to be so stressed about your phone lasting or not since everyone habit is different

Just do what you want.
