Smartphone batteries seem to degrade far too quickly. Part of that problem stems from our charging habits. Liion Power's new adapter micro-manages device charging, making it easy to take better care of the batteries in almost any USB-charged device, including your phone.
“Depending on the scenario, we saw up to 63 percent improvement in battery lifespan,” Stammeshaus said. “We generally say ‘up to 50 percent’ because it’s easier to communicate, but the data is clear.”
That was my first thought - but maybe this does a better job? Plus it can apparently be used for any device, so it might prolong the life of, say, noise-canceling headphones, book lights, and portable speakers.
my pixel 8 since I took it out of the box I charge it between 20% to 80% and use a peltier cooler so it doesn’t heat up too much and decreases the battery life

Isn’t this built into the Android OS already? I assume iOS has a similar feature
My phone doesn’t have it because Motorola is dead and lenovo is puppeting its corpse like a drunken monkey…

At least my Pixel does this “adaptive charging” when an alarm is set where it slowly charges overnight to be full when the alarm goes off.
