>> this indicates that 80% is better than 100% > Better for what? 50% is better for long-term disconnected storage -- actually, voltage is better than % and for storage you're aiming for 3.7v/cell (which is roughly 40-50%) which is where the discharge properties slow almost to a halt. 80% is the kind of standard "I'm not discharging this charge immediately"-recommended state (see: EV charging recommendations). I meant better for the battery health in general, if kept permanently plugged in at that level. I agree 50% is likely much better than 80%, which is still better than 100%. It's just that very few OSes/software/BIOSes allow you to set it at 50 or 60%, while a few (like Apple) do fallback to 80% which is at least better than 100%. Interestingly, I think my Framework BIOS allows me to set it at any value between 1 & 100%. I have set mine to a relatively "lower" 75%.
