What Finally Killed AirPower

The sole reason I rooted my pixel 2 was to install a simple app which disables charging when I reach 80%. I get all the wins of not killing the battery by constantly saturating it, together with being able to leave it plugged in whenever I am at at my desk.

I so wish manufacturers would offer this option, for those primarily deskbound who do not relish ungluing their battery after a year

I think it is a built in (but configurable) option on newer Sony models.

Edit: they call it Qnovo Adaptive Charging and they get another minus from me [0] for making it impossible to select text on tye page by long-pressing it.

[0]: they got a huge minus from me back when they added "sponsored links" to my flagship Z3 or what it was.

Thanks for making me aware that such a thing exists.
