Still at 100% health.
you really take good care of your phone
My Samsung A5 2017 lasted ~5 years; granted I didn’t use it very heavily (e.g. modern unnecessarily power-hungry social media apps; I mainly use alternative open-source lightweight apps for anything I can)
But it still works today! Handed down to low-tech family, battery lasts ~4 days or sth
The only reason I upgraded was because the performance was getting worse for everyday moderate usage (nowadays you need to have at least 6GB of RAM for some reason 🙄)
(I use Acc(A) to set charging capacity, current/speed, and temperature)
I was doing it at first but I had to recharge through the day even when charging in the morning to 80%, so I stopped. I decided it wasn’t worth having worse battery life at the current time to avoid having the same bad battery life 2 years after. I made the calculation and I didn’t mind replacing the battery after 2-3 years of use, especially because it’s not a very expensive repair
Mine is at 100% battery health after more than a year and 218 cycles, so for me it seems to function very well.
Sounds good. Whats your phone?
I got five years out of my last phone, a OnePlus 5. Moved it to lineage after OnePlus stopped doing updates. I only started to do the 80% thing about 18 months in when I learned about it.
Current phone is a OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. It has the option to auto stop charging at 80% but I find it needs to be fully charged occasionally or it loses that and also found it quite warm in the morning with this enabled so I just generally manage it manually.
Their chargers are ridiculously fast and I have one in the car with their proprietary fast charge protocol so it’s not an issue.
My biggest issue with the phone generally is that it loses a lot of charge while idle (like 17% overnight in airplane mode after a reboot) and won’t tell me what’s causing it.
