A problem is that almost all smartphones/tables don't support charge limiting feature. Business laptop like ThinkPad and competitors support to set max % of battery charging rather than 100%. It significantly increases battery life.
- jfengel 6y agoAny idea why that is? Somebody on Quora suggested it was mostly about people not being able to figure it out, which I'd believe. Plus some guesses about the way people just change their phones frequently enough for modern batteries anyway. I did find somebody who had a very clever hack: https://chargie.org/ https://chargie.org/ which basically puts a physical kill switch on the charger, along with an app to measure current battery level, without having to root the phone.
