My Galaxy s22 has an option "battery protection" that limits my battery charging to 85%. Looks like they had a good idea there.

On the S24, it actually changed to 80%. I also turned off fast charging when charging overnight at home.

Yep, no need to fast charge if it has all night

I believe that's because google added it too and theirs was set to 80%

[–] Ok_imagination@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I didn't realize I had this option. Thanks so much!

Same here. Battery still feels like new nearly 2 years later, and I use it as a GPS damn near 40 hours a week on top of normal usage. I like to run my phones into the ground these days, and the battery is almost always the first to go. Looks like I'll be getting at least another 3 or 3 years out of this one.
