Re:Charging a lithium battery to 80% only? by dghughes on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @07:11AM (#38362574)
People that know about the 80% trick may then only charge it to 80% of the 80% which now shows 100% which would be 60% (if my morning fog brain is getting it right). But if they know it's actually only 80% when showing 100% they'll charge it to 100%. Then people will complain "they don't make phones like they used to".

80%80% would be 0.80.8 which is 0.64 -> 64%

Thanks but the 100% battery capacity is hidden but still accessible otherwise you couldn't ramp it up past 100% that's why I say it's 60%.
