Nope. This is still the case, chemistry hasn't changed; Quick Charge, Rapid charge both charge from 20-80% with much more power than 80%-100%. This is also why they don't advertise "fill up", but instead, go from 0-15% or get a half a days charge (from x%) in 15 minutes)
Accubattery analytics also show that modern cell phones w/ a charge limit maintain more battery capacity over time.
Better electronics and charge patterns DO make the top off (90-100%) better by fudging the numbers and trickle charging off an on.
- wlll 8y agoSorry, I thought by the 80% rule you were talking about minimum safe discharge levels.
