When we think about battery longevity, we think about charging cycles. But that’s not the whole story.

    Any way to tell? I just got a monster phone with a 22K mAh battery.

        This replaces my old phone, Bluetooth speakers, battery banks, all that. Hella heavy, but so is all that other crap. I can drop it 5’ deep in the swamp, go down and get it. Still testing!

        I don’t know, it says “Heavy duty” on the side.

      Charge it from a smart power supply from battery at 1 to 100% then it can show you the number of mah/h it took to charge it.

      I have this power supply which also has USB-C https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrChiQ6

      For Android, there are a multitude of apps, such as Wattz that will tell you the actual voltage of the battery. Full may be 4.2V or 4.35V depending on the chemistry used. ACCA (root required) will let you limit charge rates and stop charging at a certain percentage.

      Staying under 4 volts (around 60% for most phone batteries) will vastly extend battery service life. 80% is a bit less extension, but still far better than charging to 100%.

        that doesn’t answer the question of whether there’s a way to tell that their battery is limited to 80% on hardware level, though.
