Why aren't charger IC's smart enough by now to avoid this? (eg. let it drain a ways before topping off again).

- quickthrower2 4y agoDoes iPhone’s optimized battery charging help?
- neurostimulant 4y agoNot sure. I actually had an iphone with battery so swollen, the screen got popped out of the frame by itself. Maybe newer iphones is better at this stuff, but why risk your house burning down when you can take some precaution regardless the type of phone you use.
- Symbiote 4y agoI have a 5 year old Sony Xperia ZX which has had "battery care" enabled (possibly by default) since I bought it. It charges the battery to something like 85% until shortly before my alarm is set, or the expected time I'll unplug it if no alarm is set. There isn't a way to manually control this, beyond changing the alarm time. However, the battery is still going strong after 5 years. (I wish they'd make a decent compact successor. The latest "Compact" Xperia phone seems to be 2.5cm taller! https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_5_iv-11838.php https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_5_iv-11838.php 15.6cm vs 13cm)
