I haven't tried this for an always-on phone, but ACCA[0] grants fine-grained control over battery charging behavior. An ideal state of charge would be about 40%, with battery idle mode turned on so the phone draws power directly from USB without using the battery.
Note that this requires root, but you'd probably want root for all but the simplest file server setups anyway.

- BLKNSLVR 2y agoAccA is my first app install (after F-droid I guess) for rooted phones. It should be a standard feature of all phones to be able to control charge to maximise the useful life of the device if they're not going to make batteries removable.
- Panzer04 2y agoMy guess is that the issue is more related to the constant high temperatures rather than the battery state of charge, which this wouldn't assist with.
- Zak 2y agoBoth heat and high state of charge wear the battery faster, but the combination of both is far more destructive than either alone. Keeping the battery at 40% charge will greatly increase its lifespan. A typical Li-ion cell stored at 60C and 40% charge for one year will still have 75% of its capacity, while storage at 60C and 100% charge will have it down to 60% capacity in three months. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lithium-based-batteries https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-...
