Decky Power Tools already offers this, and I believe there’s a desktop setting for it as well. Still very nice to have though.

      My iPhone battery has survived a surprising amount of time, and I’m going to guess that’s because of Apple imposing its own researched limits on battery charging based on what it sees from my usage.

      That could mean it’s sometimes lying when it says it’s at “100%”.

      Yeah I don’t get it either. Just make 80% the new 100%, and if someone wants to get the most capacity as a “power user” (no pun intended), they can manually switch to a capacity of 120% at the warning that this will decrease battery life time.

      This way, it’s opt-out instead of opt-in.

        That doesn’t really work with manufacturers trying to win customers on battery life, as well as hoping that customers will buy a new device rather sooner than later.

          True, we can’t have nice things under capitalism.

          Actually, scratch that. If every single manufacturer would do the same, there would be no change for consumers, except better battery health. And the option to reduce health for more capacity.

        Mmm i wouldn’t go that far on most devices, most of the time that would result in unsatisfying runtime.

        however for devices where they can easily run days on a charge, yeah it makes sense. My xiaomi smartwatch gets 6 fucking days on 70% charge with quite a lot of power-drawing features enabled, so there’s really no reason to ever charge it above 80%.

        But on my phone i very much need to be able to charge it to 100% before travelling, it only gets like 16h with the screen off on a full charge.

          Your phone only last 16 hours and that’s with the screen off? I think you need to check your phone, because that’s not normal. Your phone should be able to last a full day or two.

          Yeah, so at that point you opt-in to the “overcharge” (just to make it look scary!) method of charging 100%
