The rule of thumb is you roughly double cycle life for every 0.1v lower you go (approx. 10% of charge).
I would only restrict the full charge level of you never need the full charge available anyway. Eg. I only use about 60% of my phone's battery, so I can comfortably restrict it to 85% and have plenty of leeway to avoid running out. If there's a decent chance you need the full battery, just use the full battery.
Also consider how long you expect to keep a device. A couple of years of daily charging is 700 cycles, so worth considering preserving battery lifetime if it suits you.
- helf 3y agoIirc the chevy volt only lets you use around 60% of the battery pack under normal conditions. Love my volt. 104K miles, 10 years old, no signs of battery performance degredation yet. My last volt had 156k and same age and same performance (got totalled :( )
